Sow a Seed and Shelterbox collaborated with each other to provide tents to various orphanages, among them Timkatek, Bon berger de fatima, Foyer Remmen, Bercage du Bon Berger. We also provided tents to Centre de Sante de Bel Air hospital, which will now be able to care for it’s patients. Each kit contains tents, stove, kitchen utensils, kid’s packs, water storage containers, mosquito nets, floor pads, blankets ect.. Many thanks to Shelterbox.
I just received this a few minutes ago, it would be a great story for any news organizations there in PAP. I think the thing I like the most about this is that the system is in place now. They have the list (over 200 if I am not mistaken) and especially that they are asking for VOLUNTEERS there to help, would allow for anyone in the area to plug in and have an immediate effect. It is especially rare because the 82nd Airborne is going to be there for security.
Sow a Seed’s mission is to provide the basic fundamentals for disadvantaged children living in extreme poverty
in Haiti, even more so after the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti on January 12, 2010. After a week
of joining forces with the Red Falcons, researching and assessing what the immediate needs are for each
orphanage, Sow a Seed and the Red Falcons are prepared to distribute collections to orphanages in the La
Plaine, Bon Repos, Lillavois and Clercine area tomorrow.
Members of the media are welcome to arrive at 10 a.m., and the Red Falcons and SAS teams will begin their
mission at 10:30 a.m. Meeting point is Damien School, Haiti’s state agricultural university. All supplies and
donations such as tents, mattresses, foods, hygienic items, baby goods, and clothes collected from various SAS
fundraising events, individuals and non-governmental organizations including Shelterbox and GOAL will be
distributed to the following orphanages:
Sow a Seed has also assisted the Red Falcons in scouting community hospitals and clinics for orphans who
need urgent medical care, sometimes even took action such as the day they were faced with two lethargic
babies dying of dehydration and immediately brought them to a doctor. Saved on Valentine’s Day, the babies
will now be able to receive the proper care that they need.
The partnership between SAS and the Red Falcons is vital: with strong community ties, SAS is able to
communicate and network while keeping the needs of each individual valuable, while the 82nd Airborne Division
has a strong presence in the country facilitating the data collection and dispatches. Together, they collaborate
for growth.

A brief update as ACT World Relief as we continue to build and strengthen our presence here at Operation Hope for Haiti. Our 'head quarters' are officially across the street from the Hopitale Adventiste d'Haiti. The main base operates the ambulatory medical clinic, 4 mobile clinics that service thousands each days including numerous orphanages, volunteer area, food service area, and maintenance support that includes the hospital. We have formed some wonderful relationships with so many different relief groups and individuals that have joined the efforts here. May we continue to serve with joyful and humble hearts in God's glory each day.

Transitioning from immediate hurricane relief efforts, OHH was working to make an intentional, strategic difference in one of the deeply impacted rural areas. The focus was to enable community sustainability by stemming the risk of future flooding and supporting World Vision's holistic interventions around food, agriculture, economic development, education and health. Almost $300,000 had been raised by OHH towards this goal.
OHH is now re-directing all its efforts towards relief and recovery in the aftermath of one of the most catastrophic earthquakes of our lifetimes. The horrific human tragedy unfolding in Haiti is going to require a sustained response from our community, country and the world.
