I have to say thank you to Michael Pinson and his foundation. Michael and I have been thrown together in some magical way. He is acting as lead for our direct help initiative as part of a conglomeration of NGOs and is presently leading Medical Team One on the ground in PAP as we speak. This video is our late night packing of supplies prior to trucking them to Miami. His resources and links have helped make the airlift of our supplies and people possible. With our partnering, he is now able to put eyes directly on the situation and still have support stateside. You are an awesome man Michael Pinson! The Pinson foundation is truly stepping up and making a direct difference in the lives of the people of Haiti.

Message from mission organizer Sean W. Scott
The power of the individual to affect change is only limited by his or her imagination. Yesterday I imagined a plan to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We have all seen the pictures and seen the horror that is transpiring just a few hundred miles from our blessed country. Pain and suffering on a scale that is unimaginable. How can we help? Yes, donating to Red Cross is a great idea, but I want to participate in a direct way, I want to directly help. While most of us cannot do that I am blessed to be in a position to facilitate such an effort. And I want you to come along with us, personally or virtually through our blog.
Since yesterday we have a commitment from our friends at a local corporation to use their Falcon Jet. What a fantastic company and special thanks for their support. Our plan is to put medical personnel including doctors and nurses on the ground in Haiti along with supplies and equipment for a week. At the end of the week the team will be extracted and a new team will take its place.
Aggressive, preposterous, insane? No, just committed to contribute and make a difference. Join us now. Follow along on the blog, connect us to resources, donate some money to help with supplies and medicine. We are moving fast. The people of Haiti cannot wait till its convenient for us to help.
Sean W. Scott.
