HHFoH purchased an Ambulance to the Justinien Hospital, Cap-Haitian.
Ambulance for HaitiThank you for giving the volunteers and HHFoH the opportunity to share with you our experiences at Myers Park Methodist Church from the last mission trip to Haiti and discuss next steps. It was exciting to see new and familiar faces. I've attached the meeting minutes so you can stay abreast of our activities, if you were not able to make it. Great News – over the weekend HHFoH purchased an Ambulance (see attached picture) at an auction to be delivered to the Justinien Hospital in the Northern region. Justinien is the only public hospital in the North and it doesn't have an Ambulance. On our last mission trip, we promised them we'll do our best to change that. Many people (including women in labor) have lost their lives because they didn't have a way to go to the hospital and the hospital couldn't reach them either. HHFoH is currently looking for sponsors to equip the Ambulance and help pay the cost to ship it to Haiti. We're aiming to drive it to Miami the 2nd week of May to be shipped to Haiti the last week of May. Please help us save more lives in Haiti. Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Hope to see all of you at our next event. Peace in Christ! Sabine Guerrier, MBA/MHA |

Hospital in Cap-Haitian : More help bound for Haiti
May 20 More help bound for HaitiA Portland-based charitable organization leads an effort to deliver much-needed supplies to a hospital in Cap-Haitien. By Melanie Creamer mcreamer@mainetoday.com PORTLAND — A container packed with medical equipment and relief supplies left Portland on Wednesday, bound for a hospital in Haiti to treat survivors of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. click image to enlarge Jim Dawson, left, grabs a roll of cable while Charlie Miller waits to load another box inside a shipping container in Portland on Wednesday. The cargo is bound for the Justinian University Hospital in Haiti, courtesy of Konbit Sante, a Portland group that works with the hospital. Dawson and Miller are with the Portland Rotary Club, which donated money to the effort. Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer click image to enlarge Jennifer Hickey of Falmouth lends a hand with the supplies bound for Haiti. Hickey is with Partners for World Health, a Portland group that donates medical goods to organizations around the world. Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer The effort was led by volunteers of the Konbit Sante Cap-Haitien Health Partnership, a Portland-based organization that has been working in Haiti for nearly a decade. The supplies will be used at the Justinian University Hospital, a 250-bed teaching hospital in Cap-Haitien, roughly 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince, the epicenter of the earthquake. An estimated 250,000 people died in the quake, with hundreds of thousands injured and in need of shelter, food and water. Emily Gilkinson, the organization's operations manager, said the supplies will be used at the hospital and at a community health clinic in Fort St. Michel, one of Cap-Haitien's poorest neighborhoods. She said Konbit Sante sends one or two containers every year. "They have such a need for materials because they don't have regularly stocked supplies," Gilkinson said. "The hospital depends largely on donated materials and supplies. Without it, they would have nothing." Volunteers on Wednesday filled the container with surplus medical supplies donated by Partners for World Health, a Portland-based nonprofit that collects medical goods from hospitals and nursing homes across the state. Packed in the boxes are sterile needles and syringes, gauze pads, tape, dressing supplies, catheter supplies, alcohol swabs and antiseptic and intravenous solutions. Elizabeth McLellan, who founded Partners for World Health in 2009, said the supplies would have wound up in a landfill. Since October, the organization has distributed supplies to about 30 locations around the world. "They have no wash basins in the Third World," McLellan said. "They reuse sterile syringes and needles two and three times on two or three people. It's considered a right to have a single-use sterile syringe and needle. In the Third World, it's a privilege." Sue Henry, a volunteer for Partners for World Health, helped pack the container. She said the effort is recycling at its best. "We are such an abundant country," Henry said. "It feels good to share what we have." The 40-foot container will travel by land to Jacksonville, Fla., then to Cap-Haitien by ship. It is expected to arrive there on June 4. It's the first container that Konbit Sante has sent since the earthquake. Gilkinson said after the quake, non-governmental organizations around the country sent many containers of relief supplies to the region. She said Konbit Sante sent smaller batches of critical supplies with volunteers who traveled to Haiti to assist in relief efforts. The container the group sent Wednesday will replenish the dwindling supplies at Justinian Hospital, she said. "Until recently, there were containers still in storage," Gilkinson said. "We wanted to wait till it made sense." Portland became a sister city with Cap-Haitien in 2003, in an agreement to support Konbit Sante's work to improve the city's public health system. Nate Nickerson, executive director of Konbit Sante, was in Cap-Haitien for about four weeks after the earthquake. He left Maine again on Tuesday and will stay in Haiti for roughly a month. Wendy Taylor, who founded the organization with her husband, Dr. Michael Taylor, in 2000, helped pack relief supplies for the shipment. She has traveled to Cap-Haitien about 20 times and expects to return in the fall. "Every now and then Michael and I look at each other and say we can't believe it has grown into this," Taylor said. "It's been a lot of work by a lot of people, all of whom have a strong commitment to the mission. It's pretty amazing."
