Earthquake Update #2

Since we have established that the school has ample water and food (it is fortunate that it is the beginning of the month when food storages are high), we have now turned our focus to ascertaining the status of our buildings, housing being the next priority.

The staff is doing an excellent in job.  We still have about 200 students on campus.  We have positive reports on the initially injured students.

The staff & volunteers seem to be in good spirits as conveyed by the following quote from our lead volunteer about their desire to stay and help, “We are all committed to our new roles as relief workers.”

As for the press, we are beginning to provide info & support to the interest of the press.  You saw in the press release we sent out where the priorities lay.  To your ability, please influence those you may know that the contingent of US military going to Haiti be as large and comprehensive as possible to provide security, direct relief work, and demolition & rebuilding.  We have been working with Senator Reed’s office and Washington private & public sector entities.
