Whew. Everything is loaded and we are taxiing. Destination is Barhona
on the south coast of the Dominican Republic and then on to Jimani on the Haitian border. We have trucks for the
supplies and people. But unfortunately this is supply only. After
speaking with the local doctor there is a route in place and world
health organization contact there. If we can get another flight out it
appears to be a good possibility to put people on the ground.
Conditions though are reported to be very very primative and field
hospital at best. Will be in the air for next two hours. Unsure of
cell or data coverage at destination.
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.
