Maison des Anges - Phone # 2511 0383 Phone # ...2511 8117 has been damaged significantly by the earthquake. The children survived. However, lack of food and water are threatening the life of the children again. In the orphanage, there are about 80 babies between ages of 0 and 2 years.

--------------------------

Needs: food, water, medicine for 80 children

From their website, 20Jan:

“Telephone contact with Gladys tonight. Everything goes well but there is no electricity so it is very difficult to reach, and it needs when electricity runs to make representations to the children. Gladys is tired but she keeps recycling . It had one or more representatives of the Embassy of France present to the mda.”

Waiting for news from Haiti
Little quake survivor has new family -- if she can get to U.S.

ANSONIA -- Nikki Pivovar sits in a nursery filled with new baby clothes and toys, but she is afraid to take the price tags off. She does not know when, or if, her adopted daughter will make it to Connecticut from Haiti.

The 39-year-old New Canaan special education teacher is frantic for news about 10-month-old Aliette. She knows Aliette survived the earthquake, but she also knows that her orphanage was badly damaged and supplies are running out.

"They are sleeping outside in donated tents in a courtyard of an orphanage up the road, but the staff there need food and water and diapers and medicine," Pivovar said. "I can't bear to think of what life is like for her right now."

Pivovar was lucky enough to learn within a matter of hours that Aliette had survived the earthquake. The director of the orphanage, Maison des Anges, or House of Angels, managed to send word that no one was hurt.

The orphanage is partially collapsed, and the part that stands is too shaky to use for shelter, the orphanage director said. The children were moved out to an open courtyard of a nearby building, where they sleep in tents on the ground.

A Barcelona newspaper reporter who visited House of Angels on Tuesday said the children, who range from infancy to 10 years old, sleep on the ground, some covered in flies, while staff try to hunt down water, bread and diapers.

"We are here helpless," orphanage director Gladys Maximilian told Publico, a daily national Spanish newspaper, on Tuesday. "I barely have enough for the little ones to survive. We need help."
