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.

The Starfish Story



One person, one effort...huge difference.

Once upon a time there was a man who, as he walked along a beach, came upon thousands of stranded starfish above the tide line and a boy throwing one back into the sea.

The man said to the boy, "Boy, look at how many starfish there are. What difference does it make throwing just one back?"

The boy looked up at the man and simply said, "It makes a difference to the one I threw back."

Even if you cannot help them all you can make a huge difference to a few. Do not let the size of a problem discourage you from throwing back at least one starfish.

Sean.
