Mission: ASSOCIATION HAITIENNE DE DEVELOPPEMENT HUMAIN, INC.,is a 501(c)3

Haitians in New Orleans, Louisiana, who pooled their
professional, intellectual, economic and cultural resources
in order to:

Promote the welfare of Haitians by contributing to and / or instituting
humanitarian programs (health, education, culture, development, etc)
in Haiti and in Louisiana

Share the Haitian cultural heritage with Louisiana by participating in
local cultural traditions and / or by creating our own cultural events
such as art exhibits, theatre, documentary films, radio and television
programs and celebrations of our historical dates

FROM THE SITE - CHOLERA UPDATE:

Cholera In La Vallee
La Vallee received its first Cholera patient on Tuesday, November 16th.

The staff quickly erected the hospital tent to receive patients. The tent
had been removed and stored after being used during the earthquake .

In Haiti, beyond every mountain is another mountain, and beyond every
crisis is another crisis. Thankfully, we were quickly prepared.

We know there will be more Cholera patients, so in preparation more
tents are erected.

CODEVA and AHDH recently acquired this property adjacent to the
hospital. It is planned to allow for expansion of clinical services
(outpatient clinics, dialysis, etc) and as space for rapid crisis
response with outdoor hospital care (earthquake, isolation area).

The problem now is to find physicians and nurses to staff the
hospital. The interns who have been working here have left, as
their assignment at St. Joseph Hospital has ended.

Haiti Needs All Of Us - AHDH Offers You That Avenue - Time For Action Is NOW

November 30, 2010: URGENT Need For funds to hire a full time MD and
full time RN at St. Joseph Hospital, La Vallee de Jacmel

Dear Members, Volunteers and Friends of A.H.D.H.,

As you have no doubt heard in the news, Haiti is now dealing with an
outbreak of cholera.

The moment is for prompt action. Lives will be lost for lack of
simple interventions, like we just witnessed it until a few days
ago, when we left Haiti.

On Tuesday, November 30th, we took to the air. For our interview
on NBC, Chanel 6, in New Orleans, please go to WDSU.com and read
"Local Doctor Pleads For Help With Haiti Outbreak".

For donation, click on "Donate To AHDH", on the right margin of
this site We encourage using our P.O. Box address as seen there
and below for donation.

At St. Joseph Hospital in Ridore, La Vallee de Jacmel, we have
admitted several patients with cholera. All have come from outside
of the La Vallee area, principally from Port au Prince, to be with
family and seek help.

Based on the experience in the rest of Haiti, we expect to see
more cases.

Just at this moment of crisis we will loose our young interns and
nurses who have worked at the hospital this year fulfilling their
public service commitment. Additionally, the volunteers of the
49th AHDH Mission have completed their work and returned home.
In normal years this would not be a great problem while we wait
for their replacements, but this year we fear will be exceptional.

Cholera patients arriving at the hospital are at great risk of
death without a physician ready to apply aggressive rehydration
and antibiotics and guide their care. The community at large is
at risk as well for the spread of the disease if these patients
go home without proper care.

We are appealing to all concerned individuals to help in this
cause. If you are a physician or nurse, please step forward in
this time of crisis by volunteering your services. All may help
with donations to hire a full time physician and nurse to be
placed as soon as possible. Please contact AHDH coordinator
of missions in Haiti: chasrene @ bellsouth.net.

To donate directly, mail checks to AHDH,Inc
P.O. Box: 2883
La Place, LA 70069

Share this message with your colleagues and see if any staffing
or financial help is possible.

Please, let me know.
