notes: Sunday, November 14, 2010 Cholera Near Les Bours Word is spreading that the cholera outbreak has reached Cite Soleil and the road that our elementary school is on. Over 14,000 people have been hospitalized with the disease and over 900 have died. Unfortunately last week's hurricane mixed the infected water and spread it around causing the cholera outbreak escalate. People are dying only 24 hours after becoming sick. There have been confirmed deaths near the area of our school but we do not know the water source they were drinking from. Please pray that our wells in Les Bours will not become contaminated. These wells provide water to all of our students and families in Les Bours. Keep our students and their families in your prayers. On Friday Haiti had another earthquake. It was recorded as a 4.4 and it was shaking near downtown and Croix-de-Bouquets. We talked with HOPE House and we are so thankful that everyone is safe. Myslene said all of the children were inside but our house did not even shake. We have not heard from anyone in Les Bours yet. Our dear friends in Haiti are losing hope. What will happen next? They live in fear from day to day. This year has been one disaster after another with very little relief. Frentz and I have been busy spreading the truth about Haiti's current situation around Michigan. Today we are speaking at the First United Methodist Church in Midland at 4:00pm and tomorrow morning I will appear on Julie Doan's show in Midland. We have several speaking engagements a week scheduled until we go back to Haiti after the holidays. W are currently trying to fundraise for the operational costs of running HOPE House for the next year. We will officially open as an infant care center/orphanage in early March. If you are interested in learning more about how to can be part of caring for precious, malnourished, and unwanted children please contact us! haitipoverty @gmail.com -> FB Post 12/9/10: Mallery Neptune heard from Abner this morning. So far our school is okay. However, people in Les Bours are dying of cholera. They can't make their way to a hospital due to riots. The riots are getting worse the UN is responding. Tear gas thrown into tent cities leaving mothers and young children running out crying and coughing. Stores are closed with boards on the windows. Please keep praying. ------------------------------- Sunday, November 14, 2010 Cholera Near Les Bours Word is spreading that the cholera outbreak has reached Cite Soleil and the road that our elementary school is on.

notes: FROM THE WEBSITE 1/25/10: My name is Mallery Thurlow. I am the Executive Director of the Haiti Foundation Against Poverty, a registered non-profit charity which helps provide Haitian children with life necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and education. We need your help to make an impact after the recent tragedy which befell this impoverished nation. Our organization’s plan for 2010 had been to purchase a building to use as a permanent orphanage for impoverished, parentless children in Port-au-Prince. Following the devastating January 12 earthquake, we are directing our resources to disaster relief and infrastructure repair in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area — a process that begins with providing much needed shelter for Haitian children, as well as for relief workers and medical personnel. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to bring a stable, prefabricated structure to Port-au-Prince as soon as possible. This will serve as a base for medical relief and food preparation during the day and lodging during the night until this crisis has passed, at which point it this building will serve as the foundation of our permanent orphanage. In the wake of Wednesday’s severe aftershocks, we are redoubling our efforts to raise $225,000 to bring a prefabricated shelter for the homeless and injured children of Port-au-Prince. As you can imagine, shelter as a whole is now at a premium in this devastated island territory, and we need your help to bring this too Haiti. Any funds donated on this website will go to fund this effort. Your contribution is deductible from your 2009 taxes. Will you help with a donation today? Thank you for your support. Mallery Thurlow Founder, Haiti Foundation Against Poverty ----------------------------------------- NEWS article from: http://www.wwmt.com/articles/0in-1371323-style-bottom.html Grand Rapids native Mallery Thurlow started the Haiti Foundation Against Poverty in 2006, working to bring awareness and raise funds and supplies. We spoke to her over the phone late Tuesday night as she was packing up to head to the country, hoping to get there this weekend to provide aid. She told us she has spoken to multiple people there in Haiti and the destruction is devastating. An orphanage her organization helped start has been leveled and some handicapped children are stuck in side. She's unsure if the school they assist is still standing. Thurlow says there is not much in the area that has not been damaged. "Buildings, restaurants and super markets crashed to the ground. As I was on the phone with him this evening I couldn't really hear them because people were in the background screaming and crying in pain. Young children on the streets that had just saw their parents get squashed and parents that just lost their children," said Mallery Thurlow. Thurlow is hoping to gather food and supplies to take to Haiti. She's driving to Florida Wednesday and hopes to catch a plane from there to help. Phone lines are down throughout the country so the State Department has set up a number that you can call is you have loved ones in the country.
