Despite reports from the Haitian Ministry of Health and UN agencies that the number of cholera cases and deaths has stabilized, those of us working on the frontlines of cholera response know a grimmer reality. Not only is the infection nationally endemic, Haiti’s rainy season is almost upon us. Because Haiti’s cholera epidemic is the result of terrible sanitation conditions, the heavy rains, flooding, and mudslides Haiti faces in the coming months will severely exacerbate the situation. As the rains fall, the number of cholera cases will rise. This health disaster has been neglected by the international news media, disappearing from the news shortly after it struck in October. Unfortunately, the disaster has NOT disappeared from Haiti. In five months, a disease that can be both easily treated, and easily cured, has taken over 4,000 lives. J/P HRO is leading the charge of countless organizations in Haiti currently combating the epidemic. We’ve delivered more than 100 metric tons of clinical medical supplies to every corner of the country, supplying Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC) and units (CTU) in several rural, isolated communities where cholera can be a death sentence. But the J/P HRO cholera response goes well beyond delivering just supplies; our missions provide international volunteer physicians, Haitian medical doctors, and highly trained Haitian health promotion workers to communities who have not encountered international aid in decades, if ever. J/P HRO medical personnel activate these communities towards sustainable means of mitigation, and empower them to end unnecessary deaths due to cholera. Half-day cholera prevention seminars, mobile care clinics, and extensive training on how to use the supplies provided give the Haitian people in these communities a fighting chance. J/P missions target remote villages and towns where often the nearest paved road is farther than a day’s walk, if it can be reached by foot at all. Therefore, the only way to assist these communities is by air, and since December 2010 J/P HRO has partnered with the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) fleet of MI-8 helicopters to serve these devastated populations. Collaborating with the UN gave us free and unlimited access to helicopters. But the perception that cholera has stabilized and is no longer a threat is now threatening the very people who are in greatest need. UNHAS has not been able to secure funding, and UN helicopter missions will be discontinued March 31st. In light of losing such a crucial resource, the need to fund helicopter missions to remote areas in Haiti is more critical than ever. Please take the time to read about everything J/P HRO is doing in Haiti and donate to our cause. Your money will go directly towards improving the lives of Haitians and building a sustainable future for Haiti. Thanks for all you do.

FIXABLE.” Dear Friends, The Haitian relief effort has been historic— a moving example of nations coming together to help a neighbor in need. As Americans, we should carry immense pride in our hearts of how our country, and particularly how the men and women of the U.S. Military, have answered the call to help Haiti rise from the rubble. We saw after Katrina that governments alone are not enough to respond to a disaster of such magnitude. And governments alone will not save Haiti. It's going to take countless contributions - no matter how small - from individuals who are either willing to write a check, get their hands dirty, or both. That is why we created the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. We are drawing on an enormous network of emergency response contacts in government and non-government organizations, as well as support from friends internationally, to deliver immediate results to the people of Haiti. We are working closely with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne, officials in the Dominican Republic, as well as many local mayors, religious and community leaders, and hospital officials to determine the most immediate needs and service those needs as quickly and effectively as possible. In less than three weeks on the ground, we’ve been effective as follows: 1.Our doctors have treated more than 40,000 patients on everything from major trauma and communicative diseases to births 2.We’ve delivered more than 100,000 pounds of medical supplies 3.We currently serve approximately 2,000 meals a day to earthquake victims 4.We’ve brought in and distributed approximately 4,000 water filters 5.We’ve given local hospitals much needed equipment like an X-ray machine, ventilators, and ultrasound machines 6.We’ve cut through bureaucracy and red tape to bring in large shipments of medicine, antibiotics and anesthetics, which are in short (but much needed) supply 7.We built a temporary school and emotional trauma center for approximately 300 children and growing 8.We’ve arranged for numerous critically ill children to be transported and receive treatment in the U.S. 9.We’ve improved communications and are helping to conduct a census in the Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens 10.We’ve been entirely self-sustainable For all of our efforts, true recovery seems insurmountable, as the fast-approaching rainy season threatens to un-do all of our efforts and magnify this tragedy tenfold. But we keep calling on a mantra from CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who emailed the following while we were en-route to Haiti after we asked him what life was like on the ground: “Awful. Indelible. Fixable.” The good doctor said. With that, our extraordinary team soldiers on. Please join our cause.

In your mind right now, given what you've seen, what do you think the most pressing concern is? SEAN PENN: The rain. When the rain comes, it's going to be a public health disaster. They could easily be on the scale of the earthquake itself. Disease is spreading already, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, malaria. The place, you know, which already had incredible hygiene problems within the neighborhoods, now with the earthquake, this is a new disaster waiting to happen. J/P HRO is currently engaged in the BEAT THE RAIN campaign to encourage the safe relocation and temporary shelter of more than 75,000 earthquake victims before the expected rain season begins in March 2010. J/P HRO is engaged in a massive relocation project as the organization is lobbying local government officials for expedited inspections of homes (and therefore quick relocation of citizens). The Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) where J/P HRO is stationed is a golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens. When the rain season begins, the rains could quickly spread diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, and malaria could cause a second wave of devastation. The shock of the earthquake is quickly being replaced by anger. While there is enormous appreciation for the unprecedented relief effort, concern is growing that it may all be for naught, if the means are not put in place for secure, temporary housing which can withstand the rains. There is also growing concern that riots could break out if displaced citizens are physically forced out of the tent city due to severe conditions. To prevent this, J/P HRO is striving to raise funds to build 500 sq. ft rain-proof temporary homes and expedite the relocation. The estimated cost for this project is roughly $8,000,000.00. Help is needed urgently.

We are drawing on an enormous network of emergency response contacts in government and non-government organizations, as well as support from friends internationally, to deliver immediate results to the people of Haiti. We are working closely with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne, officials in the Dominican Republic, as well as many local mayors, religious and community leaders, and hospital officials to determine the most immediate needs and service those needs as quickly and effectively as possible. In less than three weeks on the ground, we’ve been effective as follows: 1.Our doctors have treated more than 40,000 patients on everything from major trauma and communicative diseases to births 2.We’ve delivered more than 100,000 pounds of medical supplies 3.We currently serve approximately 2,000 meals a day to earthquake victims 4.We’ve brought in and distributed approximately 4,000 water filters 5.We’ve given local hospitals much needed equipment like an X-ray machine, ventilators, and ultrasound machines 6.We’ve cut through bureaucracy and red tape to bring in large shipments of medicine, antibiotics and anesthetics, which are in short (but much needed) supply 7.We built a temporary school and emotional trauma center for approximately 300 children and growing 8.We’ve arranged for numerous critically ill children to be transported and receive treatment in the U.S. 9.We’ve improved communications and are helping to conduct a census in the Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens 10.We’ve been entirely self-sustainable For all of our efforts, true recovery seems insurmountable, as the fast-approaching rainy season threatens to un-do all of our efforts and magnify this tragedy tenfold. But we keep calling on a mantra from CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who emailed the following while we were en-route to Haiti after we asked him what life was like on the ground: “Awful. Indelible. Fixable.” The good doctor said. With that, our extraordinary team soldiers on. Please join our cause.

In your mind right now, given what you've seen, what do you think the most pressing concern is? SEAN PENN: The rain. When the rain comes, it's going to be a public health disaster. They could easily be on the scale of the earthquake itself. Disease is spreading already, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, malaria. The place, you know, which already had incredible hygiene problems within the neighborhoods, now with the earthquake, this is a new disaster waiting to happen. J/P HRO is currently engaged in the BEAT THE RAIN campaign to encourage the safe relocation and temporary shelter of more than 75,000 earthquake victims before the expected rain season begins in March 2010. J/P HRO is engaged in a massive relocation project as the organization is lobbying local government officials for expedited inspections of homes (and therefore quick relocation of citizens). The Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) where J/P HRO is stationed is a golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens. When the rain season begins, the rains could quickly spread diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, and malaria could cause a second wave of devastation. The shock of the earthquake is quickly being replaced by anger. While there is enormous appreciation for the unprecedented relief effort, concern is growing that it may all be for naught, if the means are not put in place for secure, temporary housing which can withstand the rains. There is also growing concern that riots could break out if displaced citizens are physically forced out of the tent city due to severe conditions. To prevent this, J/P HRO is striving to raise funds to build 500 sq. ft rain-proof temporary homes and expedite the relocation. The estimated cost for this project is roughly $8,000,000.00. Help is needed urgently. Please join J/P HRO’s BEAT THE RAIN campaign and sponsor a temporary home now, by visiting our donation page.

In your mind right now, given what you've seen, what do you think the most pressing concern is? SEAN PENN: The rain. When the rain comes, it's going to be a public health disaster. They could easily be on the scale of the earthquake itself. Disease is spreading already, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, malaria. The place, you know, which already had incredible hygiene problems within the neighborhoods, now with the earthquake, this is a new disaster waiting to happen. J/P HRO is currently engaged in the BEAT THE RAIN campaign to encourage the safe relocation and temporary shelter of more than 75,000 earthquake victims before the expected rain season begins in March 2010. J/P HRO is engaged in a massive relocation project as the organization is lobbying local government officials for expedited inspections of homes (and therefore quick relocation of citizens). The Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) where J/P HRO is stationed is a golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens. When the rain season begins, the rains could quickly spread diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, and malaria could cause a second wave of devastation. The shock of the earthquake is quickly being replaced by anger. While there is enormous appreciation for the unprecedented relief effort, concern is growing that it may all be for naught, if the means are not put in place for secure, temporary housing which can withstand the rains. There is also growing concern that riots could break out if displaced citizens are physically forced out of the tent city due to severe conditions. To prevent this, J/P HRO is striving to raise funds to build 500 sq. ft rain-proof temporary homes and expedite the relocation. The estimated cost for this project is roughly $8,000,000.00.

FIXABLE.” Dear Friends, The Haitian relief effort has been historic— a moving example of nations coming together to help a neighbor in need. As Americans, we should carry immense pride in our hearts of how our country, and particularly how the men and women of the U.S. Military, have answered the call to help Haiti rise from the rubble. We saw after Katrina that governments alone are not enough to respond to a disaster of such magnitude. And governments alone will not save Haiti. It's going to take countless contributions - no matter how small - from individuals who are either willing to write a check, get their hands dirty, or both. That is why we created the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. We are drawing on an enormous network of emergency response contacts in government and non-government organizations, as well as support from friends internationally, to deliver immediate results to the people of Haiti. We are working closely with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne, officials in the Dominican Republic, as well as many local mayors, religious and community leaders, and hospital officials to determine the most immediate needs and service those needs as quickly and effectively as possible. In less than three weeks on the ground, we’ve been effective as follows: 1.Our doctors have treated more than 40,000 patients on everything from major trauma and communicative diseases to births 2.We’ve delivered more than 100,000 pounds of medical supplies 3.We currently serve approximately 2,000 meals a day to earthquake victims 4.We’ve brought in and distributed approximately 4,000 water filters 5.We’ve given local hospitals much needed equipment like an X-ray machine, ventilators, and ultrasound machines 6.We’ve cut through bureaucracy and red tape to bring in large shipments of medicine, antibiotics and anesthetics, which are in short (but much needed) supply 7.We built a temporary school and emotional trauma center for approximately 300 children and growing 8.We’ve arranged for numerous critically ill children to be transported and receive treatment in the U.S. 9.We’ve improved communications and are helping to conduct a census in the Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens 10.We’ve been entirely self-sustainable For all of our efforts, true recovery seems insurmountable, as the fast-approaching rainy season threatens to un-do all of our efforts and magnify this tragedy tenfold. But we keep calling on a mantra from CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who emailed the following while we were en-route to Haiti after we asked him what life was like on the ground: “Awful. Indelible. Fixable.” The good doctor said. With that, our extraordinary team soldiers on. Please join our cause.

In less than three weeks on the ground, we’ve been effective as follows: 1.Our doctors have treated more than 40,000 patients on everything from major trauma and communicative diseases to births 2.We’ve delivered more than 100,000 pounds of medical supplies 3.We currently serve approximately 2,000 meals a day to earthquake victims 4.We’ve brought in and distributed approximately 4,000 water filters 5.We’ve given local hospitals much needed equipment like an X-ray machine, ventilators, and ultrasound machines 6.We’ve cut through bureaucracy and red tape to bring in large shipments of medicine, antibiotics and anesthetics, which are in short (but much needed) supply 7.We built a temporary school and emotional trauma center for approximately 300 children and growing 8.We’ve arranged for numerous critically ill children to be transported and receive treatment in the U.S. 9.We’ve improved communications and are helping to conduct a census in the Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) golf course area that has been converted into a tent city and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens 10.We’ve been entirely self-sustainable For all of our efforts, true recovery seems insurmountable, as the fast-approaching rainy season threatens to un-do all of our efforts and magnify this tragedy tenfold. But we keep calling on a mantra from CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who emailed the following while we were en-route to Haiti after we asked him what life was like on the ground: “Awful. Indelible. Fixable.” The good doctor said. With that, our extraordinary team soldiers on. Please join our cause. You have our personal pledge and commitment that any and all money donated will be put to good use, swiftly and effectively. You can donate directly here. If you are a doctor, medical student, have experience with disaster relief or want to volunteer, please contact us at help@jphro.org. If you are a corporate sponsor, and would like to talk to us about getting involved, please contact, John Koch at: jkoch @id-pr.com.

notes: -> “AWFUL. INDELIBLE. FIXABLE.” Dear Friends, The Haitian relief effort has been historic— a moving example of nations coming together to help a neighbor in need. As Americans, we should carry immense pride in our hearts of how our country, and particularly how the men and women of the U.S. Military, have answered the call to help Haiti rise from the rubble. We saw after Katrina that governments alone are not enough to respond to a disaster of such magnitude. And governments alone will not save Haiti. It's going to take countless contributions - no matter how small - from individuals who are either willing to write a check, get their hands dirty, or both. That is why we created the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. We are drawing on an enormous network of emergency response contacts in government and non-government organizations, as well as support from friends internationally, to deliver immediate results to the people of Haiti. We are working closely with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne, officials in the Dominican Republic, as well as many local mayors, religious and community leaders, and hospital officials to determine the most immediate needs and service those needs as quickly and effectively as possible.

cat_notes: FROM Leslie - 2/16/10 Hi Leesa, Here are some pointers on this entry: "Donations, Disaster Fund" will always be an available item, never a need. "Support for Named Disaster - 2010 Haiti Earthquake" will be an available item that is attached to every Haiti related entry. Go back to this organizations website and do a little more research. Find out if they have 'boots on the ground'. If they have volunteers in Haiti, than the state should remain Haiti. If they are collecting donations and partnered with or shipping to Haiti stateside, than you need to enter the U.S. address. Under 'Notes', please copy/paste the most recent updated information for their Haiti operations. Once I see that info, I can guide you more on what avails/needs need to be created. If there is a needs list on the site, you can post that in notes also. Very good start!!! Thanks, Les ->
