Port-au-Prince, testimony of a female doctor

PORT-AU-PRINCE Friday, February 12

TODAY government has decided to `a day of mourning and prayer national population extension of two days: three full days .... All faiths since Pastors, as well as priests and "houngans" (voodoo priest) spoke before thousands of faithful across the city and province on makeshift podiums, not broadcast on radio and TV .. that work!

.... You should know that `s the time of carnival and the carnival ... in Haiti is the largest folk festival appreciated by everyone and in this context, not debauchery ... but what I have seen and heard TODAY was a "carnival evangelical! an outlet for all that angst people in those moments ....

Life resumes, certainly not the same .. because we can not be overlooked by those who are no longer, loss of any kind and to a future so uncertain.

The main problem, say the most pressing is how to relocate the one million people homeless, temporarily or not, before the rainy season is imminent heavy rain yesterday morning, only an hour `s, has created the panic in many places.

Tents and tarpaulins under which people take refuge no longer enough, also "houses" of sheet metal and wood salvaged from the rubble, grow everywhere in downtown which is becoming a real slum ....

It seems that, in both government and international organizations, don `t have an answer in the short or medium term. D `interminable meetings birth Mouse! Coordination of the aid is `a very complex problem, issues may be important? political and economic rivalries? ... Need a higher intensity at 7.2 on the Richter scale for `return human consciousness to the reality and needs of the population?

The presence of one contingent of 20 .. 000 IM `S territory questions us all: why the many humanitarian soldiers, who only walk the streets and hand out bags of rice of 25 kgs? One can not deny the importance of `` humanitarian aid in these moments, because Haiti can not cope with this disaster with its precarious and insufficient resources, but should we not consider more effective solutions, thinking also to revive small business, small businesses, instead of "empty" tons of food, drugs after 1 month and again to put at least six- somewhere destroy an already fragile economy?

For example, local pharmaceutical companies no longer sell their products to hospitals, as help in getting free drugs is huge on these.
Rice poured by international `s not always accompanied by products as" peas "(beans),` s oil, salt. ... Then people sell rice to buy something else! ... At the risk of getting arrested.
There are organizations that calculate food rations for five days, the quantity and quality of food to distribute. There are also community structures, such as neighborhood committees, which are completely forgotten despite their expertise and knowledge of the field. Why? ...

We see daily examples of cons, "debauchery humanitarian": food market (buying food, preparing them) who `s to hold hot foods on a neighborhood ... Why not deal with them? ? a form of revival of their economies ... In six months they will be - being more fight? One might think

in 2010 until many years after the outbreak of `organizations` s emergency management after `s countless disasters in the world, the" brains " have examples and data to build and adapt to the situation.

These moments are crucial ... that could turn the country mired in a long and lasting crisis is at hand if the latter is poorly made, the development that `s will not be 'sustainable' it !!!!! !

I do not know `s it like to pray ... TODAY ... if that is enough.

Differences resume `s voice after 15 days 'convergence': c` is human of course, the big shock is past, the natural change their spots. But beyond these considerations, reality reminds us: destruction, rubble, homelessness, loss of lives, property, work, and leaves me with doubts: "replica" still felt by many outweigh certain values and they especially those that should help us to listen to rebuild despite all the challenges of each of others?

C is a fair bit of `grabs and who will do that better and more visible than his neighbor who ...... that` s another to a landowner like him !!!!!

Sometimes one can not help laughing `s see what they want or imagine the relief those conditions .. ds to see what they bring`: it `s not the case here only.
we landed two boxes of corn plasters to the feet ... But

We were also landed bcp useful things you must know to separate things.

ago tjs wholesale wounded but `s support after all that worried qd emergency will be left, from here 15 days later. coordination is extremely difficult, the government has a crisis but operations difficult to achieve.

We try to resume all activities possible; `s school is a comprehensive open and empty of proposals for the time and those who have children, wait .. I do not know what miracle .. (I also do a little part of those who wait .. we can not have answer to tt !!!!!).

January 21

A little resume: the `help with medical, major surgery CISA is many well organized, all hospitals are working with strong teams of international diaspora and local. The main problem is the `supply materials and equipment and fuel for all these people often come only with human resources. The teams work ds court of hospitals (no one wants to enter ds buildings, especially not sick) but between them, juxtaposed!! even in a hospital, not quotes, I see Americans, firefighter Francias and a Haitian staff who are working independently of each other: Patch-language and system of work ... .... There are even hospitals or there are too many people!

But after those big surgery, it will take chrage these patients. ... One to two months and will be distributed emergency. It is gently prepared with nationals. Many amputations
`... .. tt ages because of the crushed limbs don` t have not been treated early. The prostheses are bp.

In the provinces, ca `s also organizes gradually. The damage is lower, but bcp people have left the city and swell the ranks of those who can not absorb them. D `other people living in Port au Prince have become" urban " and will not remain in the province.

food Question: what is an MAP that manages the distribution, AC is going pretty well at the moment, they are there. There are about 70 camps of 500 to 2000 people identified in the capital. `The water is distributed correctly.

The prediction is in government, to 11 refugee camps around Port au Prince. ... ... Complete with bathroom and for how many years `???????

Fuel: hard up to the present and the current ... it `s not talk about it! The network of water works again the P to P or the pipes are not broken.

Despite all city and neighborhood life is returning slowly, sales food, bread, candles .. small trades (or the `s possible). People in the neighborhood nail wood sheets and salvaged els rubble and rebuild shelters toles very quickly. They want to move?

The Champ de Mars is a big pb: bcp too crowded, and no sanitation.

_______________
Tuesday, January 19

For now c is not very organized. Wholesale: hospitals .. walk with aid. But the pb is logistics and gas because, except the Americans who have deep pockets (ds cars airplanes, aircraft carrier that purifies 14,000 gallons of water per day) the other foot has landed !!!!! requires vehicles without vehicle diesel is ... rare.
It `s also the pb` s food aid distribution: insecurity. The police lost bp world and begins to recover, but there are neighborhood committees weapons.
Some estimate precisely the damage.

There are still corpses ds Street. And charognards.Encore alive under rubble of it seems ..
Petion-ville is less affected and begins to walk plsu or less. An estimated 80,000
the MRTS collected, 500 people of the United Nations (effondremetn their office).

It `s not there yet tents, latrines are starting to widen.

Small wounded: bcp but dependent neighborhoods of solidarity among NGOs, friends ect ... some are already well organized, and despite all the smiles and jokes fuse for 2 days (not everywhere but most bcp). The prayers go up everywhere and quantity of all the streets. ...

It also tries to put health issues here and there.

affected areas in the province (south east, south part) are not yet-not-aid or nearly so P Prince needs. Roads are cut (Jacmel), making it more difficult. The

bp = still eat. There is enough but the silver is missing, because of no job daily and then the banks (for those who can) are overwritten for bcp.
Government ... ... ... it evaluates for 6 days.

Bcp people share with families in the provinces; better. But transportation is not even ok. And then the wounded arriving in the province quickly deplete the resources of the provincial hospital. They call orthopedic anaesthesistes ... they don `t have very little.

short c is not yet clear, despite only 6 days are passing nothing `s still very functional.

Bcp thieves and looters of all that is broken ... .. and open ... unscrupulous !!!!!

For the rest: keep in touch.
We try to assess the damage with a combination of my neighborhood, to channel people who want to do sth.

Testimony of Gonave - Solely Lakay

Tuesday, January 12 2010

At 17:15, the quake hit the island of Gonave for about 25-30 seconds with an incredible noise. I saw all move in all directions. I was in the garden at 5m from the house, people were moving in all directions and it was screaming.

Fortunately, people do not live in houses during the day! Many houses are damaged, entire houses were destroyed.

is really panic. The cries of people in the village resound everywhere. After 3 replies, I asked people not to sleep in the house for fear of further aftershocks.

The house of the association has not suffered too much. The panels are not yet checked or the tank, the priority is for people: if there are injuries or not, or if they need to be rescued by as Gonave , it doesn 'there is no means of relief.

For now, he Countdown personal business to clear the attic.

For now, no communication with the outside world: the phone does not work, the radio either, except on France Inter International announcing that news, we ask people not to stay in houses: they have no place to spend the night, I have to set up a tent for the night.

We spent the night in two tents.

is the radio that we learned the strength of the earthquake that struck at 17h. The force was of 7.9 and a few minutes later by 7.4.

There were more than a dozen aftershocks.

It is 3 hours in the morning and the phone still does not work or electricity in the capital. Everybody in the street in the Haitian capital and under the rubble, no water, no electricity and no means of first aid. According to Radio 90.6, there are corners that are completely razed to the card even the national palace, according to the radio, is affected.

I've decided to go place Thursday, January 14, 2010.

On 13 January, as here in the village, there are many houses destroyed, I prefer to keep the inventory with the villagers.

At 10:55, a 3 rd reply. As the phone does not work, I decided to take the road to Port au Prince because I learned on the radio that there were still many dead under the rubble in the capital, I decided go there to help.

In the 11 th section, no died, much damage: homes destroyed, all the barns are destroyed, crops are in range of animals, all people in the street.

I have no news of my sisters who live in Port au Prince. I have no choice.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Since morning, I worked with people to make a 1 st common stock of 4. Here are the results of the joint Boucanlamare and the Baka, Nan (attached). It remains the common Polaton Letan, Luberan, Font pleasure that I have not registered.

Then I decided to travel down that despite the earth continues to tremble and I stayed overnight in the car for safety.

To help all people of this community to rebuild the homes, we need 5900 bags of cement around knowing that the price of a bag of cement is 300 bottles (About 6 €) now, not counting transportation.

Thursday, 14 January 2010

At 6 o'clock in the morning, I took the boat (love) to go to Arcahaie. And according to Port au Prince with three suitcases, tent and 3 kilos of drugs.

When I arrived in the capital, unable to deliver aid. Nothing is held, no means of transport and communication, no health center. The corpses in the streets everywhere in the ruins. The children scream in the ruins and other buildings. The wounded are everywhere. No drinking water, all shops are closed or crushed. There is looting everywhere. All people in the street.

All state buildings are down with employees. The National Palace is to be remade, DGCI (Directorate General of Tax Office) is completely destroyed, Chamber of Commerce over 80%.

buildings are affected, entire neighborhoods were wiped out. If you look at the Rue Pavee, all buildings are affected.

City Leogane is destroyed beyond 80%: all houses are down.

After visiting Port au Prince, I decided to go Gonave because insecurity is beginning to be felt. Nothing organized in all the streets are scattered cases, shops are destroyed or they are closed, no water, no place to bring people together. All people in all corners of the street to spend the night: no mattresses, no sleeping bags, children are on the floor or on a piece of cardboard in different blocks.

For now, we need as tents, first aid.

boats help, they stack the people crossing the Gulf of Gonave of Gonave to Arcahaie free for 4 days, which encourages many people to see parents who are in Port-au-Prince and also helps people return to Gonave.

According to the findings and testimony of people, the situation will get worse very quickly, we can say in the days to come.

All the houses are smashed more than 80% to Léogane bank Leogane is crushed, crushed the church ... everyone in the street, no tents. The orphanage has fallen net with all the kids, and up Friday brought no relief to help them.

There are many corpses in the streets of Leogane. In the large cemetery, they made a grave to put all the dead.

the phone, Saturday, January 16, 2010 to 23h15:

"The most urgent need is to rebuild homes because so little food reserve is outside and the animals use and do damage.

Many people now coming to Port au Prince. The food will become a big problem as well as routing: gasoline (petrol) is becoming scarce. "

Liberation: Year Zero Haiti - Jean-René Lemoine

HAITI, YEAR ZERO

by Jean-René Lemoine

published in Libération, 19 January 2010

First of all, let us repeat it. There is no curse of Haiti. If there is a curse, it is in the fantasy of a West that one wonders if he did not need a land where reeling his own fear. "Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas", this slogan highlighted in so many articles seem brandished as an amulet, an exorcism. What do these words, repeated to the environment as a sentence? It's there and not elsewhere that this earthquake were to happen? There is more, there will never be more hopeful? It exists on earth a space dedicated exclusively to the horror? In the early 80's, the rumor was that the outbreak of AIDS was in Haiti. The plague was born there. That country was the infinite danger as now it synthesizes much for the endless misery and disaster announced. And before that, when I said Haiti, I was told "oh yes, the Tonton Macoutes!" This proposal was not even fit in a structured sentence. Haiti was reducible to one common place. I know how this country is poor, frail, abused. I know he had a string of misfortunes suffered, among other things, the Duvalier dictatorships, father and son, but it does not tell a land, as bruised as it is, by zooming in on a wound. Is incomplete and therefore false. It would be fairer to say that Haiti is a country which in his overwhelming grief also conceals an incredible and priceless vitality. It is a country where people have a resilient force that holds them upright, a country where violence is rife, but where the individual is not aggressive. A country that has resolved his Oedipus with France, where he was the richest colony, which has preserved and transformed the African memory. A country incredibly rich in tradition, where art and mystery are everywhere. It is a country of painting, sculpture, literature, music. It is also the country where a religion, voodoo, accompanied by the daily rituals of a people and again it is far from the stereotypes of witchcraft. A country of tales and myths which the marvelous is at the crossroads of many paths. A country that has kept her in extreme poverty, meaning and generosity. Many people who lived there could testify, as paradoxical as it may seem, it often falls in love.

Haiti is one of the world

So please, let us finish this exhausting and oozing with compassion kouchnérienne, dare we first heard that this land moaning now trying to tell us. It mourns its victims understand and respect his affliction. At the announcement of the disaster I was flabbergasted. I'm watching the stunning visual images, I could not integrate them as reality. Then I, like many, wanted to know where were my relatives who were alive, had died. I would say to all those who suffer, my condolences, saying that I suffer with them. I know it is little, but I remember that words comforted me when I thought I would be inconsolable and slides, these words like a charm (it is now time for me to go) in Whose hand will want to take.

That said, I welcome the spirit of solidarity that I see arise from all Units and humanity bear witness that everyone I meet. The world seems to understand that Haiti is part of the world and we can not abandon this country as we did for so long. People act this time, ardently, distribute disaster water, food, care. All this is admirable. But we must now think of the future. A Haitian friend told me: "We can not allow people both in poverty and the trauma of goodbye, when aid agencies are leaving."

We know that disasters have much impact on the spectacular. We know how fast this show even goes out of style. But if we do not change their point of view, all these images broadcast loops will have been for nothing. You can not ask a frail screen of charity on this disaster and then leave, Mass being said. It is necessary, it is essential to give rise to a thought that all this suffering, all this destruction have not been in vain. It is imperative to think about rebuilding. First is the international community has the power. This does not mean to put Haiti under guardianship, as it takes away his rights to a parent crazy. Haiti is a parent, but lucid. This country needs help to recover and regain consistency. It is a country that runs through the death and asked to be reborn. I know there there, despite the exodus which has been so much talk, people can act. There must be consultation with them to think that reconstruction. If this is implemented, then the hope is possible. The hope for real change. Rebuilding a true living space is an extraordinary project that can generate a profound upheaval. This utopia can become tomorrow's reality.

Hope rose

When asked what testimony I said that I was unable to write, as if petrified, I had time. And of course, the next second, I started writing in my head. I know some writers say, tell what happened. It is also important. I hope their words will not only testify to the disaster, because a memory is necessary, but they will also say that something has opened a hope copy rose in this Caribbean island, sister of pain and complicit in so many other islands, so many other countries.

Report by David Belle - Cine Institute - January 17, 2010

Du  directeur de Cine Institute (Jacmel) de Passage to Port-au-Prince "It had been reported that many of the stories Americans represented Haiti as a powder keg ready to explode. And also that the stories had the headlines speak of looting, violence and chaos. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I visited the city of Port-au-Prince on my arrival. The extent of damage is unbelievable. At every step each corner there is a horrible tragedy one after another: houses, shops, schools, churches reduced to dust. Inside the white spaces mountain of debris there are people mostly now dead. The smell is unbearable . In each Street, there are people - the survivors - who have lost everything: home, parents, children, friends. We have not seen ANY TIME act of aggression or violence. Instead we saw neighbors helping neighbors and friends helping friends and strangers. I saw neighbors digging in the debris with their bare hands to find survivors. We saw traditional healers treating the wounded, we've seen dignified ceremonies for mass burials and residents patiently under the scorching sun with a few meager belongings. A city paralyzed by two million people waiting for help, medicines, water and food. The plupart ne les ont pas recus.  Haiti peut etre fiere de ses survivants. Leur dignite et leur decence face a cette tragedie est en elle-meme extraordinaire.  David Belle, 17 janvier 2010.  Ciné Institute Director David Belle reports from Port-au-Prince:   "I have been told that much US media coverage paints Haiti as a tinderbox ready to explode. I'm told that lead stories in major media are of looting, violence and chaos.  There could be nothing further from the truth.    I have traveled the entire city daily since my arrival. The extent of damages is absolutely staggering. At every step, at every bend is one horrific tragedy after another; homes, businesses, schools and churches leveled to nothing. Inside every mountain of rubble there are people, most dead at this point. The smell is overwhelming. On every street are people -- survivors -- who have lost everything they have: homes, parents, children, friends.  " NOT ONCE  have we witnessed a single act of aggression or violence.  To the contrary, we have witnessed neighbors helping neighbors and friends helping friends and strangers.  We've seen neighbors digging in rubble with their bare hands to find survivors. We've seen traditional healers treating the injured; we've seen dignified ceremonies for mass burials and residents patiently waiting under boiling sun with nothing but their few remaining belongings. A crippled city of two million awaits help, medicine, food and water. Most haven't received any. "Haiti can be proud of its survivors. Their dignity and decency in the face of this tragedy is itself staggering."                                                                                          David Belle, January 17th, 2010 Go to Ciné Institute's website for latest photos and footage coming from the students in Jacmel. cineinstitute.com

February 1 2010 - Conor Bohan Update - HELP Haitian Education & Leadership Program

The following message is from Conor:

Dear Friends,

Samson was recovering some books at the old HELP center yesterday afternoon when a neighbor approached him with a letter that someone had asked him to deliver to HELP. The letter announced the death of Marc-Erline Dezulma, a second-year HELP accounting student from Gros Morne. Samson gave the the letter to Garry, who spoke with Marc-Erline's family and confirmed her death: the Port-au-Prince apartment building where she lived collapsed in the quake, leaving no survivors.


Garry later discovered that students who had been filling out the contact spreadsheet in the days following the quake erroneously marked Marc-Erline as "contacted" rather than "attempted contact". We reviewed the entire list again today and found that another student, Evenson Jean, second-year in computer science, also perished when his classroom building crumbled, taking fifteen students with it.




Marc-Erline graduated at the top of her class in 2008 at Jean XXIII high school in Gros Morne. Her older brother Erland had been the top graduate two years before her, and the Catholic brothers at the school had sponsored him to study engineering in Port-au-Prince. Once admitted to HELP, Marc-Erline followed Erland to the city, where they were joined by a younger sister, who also perished in the apartment. Erland had the difficult task of returning to Gros Morne with the tragic news.

Marc-Erline was one suffered a big loss. It is hard to put into words what it means for someone with so much promise and who had worked so hard, overcoming all kinds of obstacles, to be crushed in this disaster. Please pray for Marc-Erline's family, the HELP
community, and Haiti."



Evenson Jean was the first in his family to graduate from high school. Also first in his class at his Port-au-Prince high school, he was one of a group of students previously sponsored by the FOKAL Foundation that transferred to HELP this year.

His advisor, Smryne Saintil, said he wasted no time adapting to HELP, offering his considerable computer skills whenever needed. Evenson usually attended classes in the morning session, but as first semester exams were approaching, he began to attend review classes in both the morning and afternoon to better prepare for finals. It is doubly tragic that Evenson paid the ultimate price for his determination to succeed.

The letter left for us at HELP in the name of the Ezulma family ends thus:

"We thank you for this noble service that you have offered our family, which, sadly, through this natural catastrophe, ended before its proper conclusion."

We will be establishing memorial scholarship funds for Evenson and Marc-Erline. Please let me know if you would like to contribute.

From January 21 2010
Dear Friends,
Help 108/108
"Gade yon mirak" can loosely be translated as "Behold a miracle." Today we tracked down the 2 students who we had not yet heard from. Starting earlier this week, we had sent students out looking for Weaventz Fougette. Today they finally located his neighbourhood; however, about the same time they arrived in a remote suburb of Port-au-Prince and met his mother, Weaventz strolled into the HELP student house about 10 miles away, blissfully unaware of the manhunt launched in his name. For the final student, Jovaski Rejouis, we received an email from a friend confirming that he was fine. It is no minor miracle that all 108 students and 8 staff members are alive and well; truly cause for celebration among the HELP family, in the midst of tragedy and loss.

There was lots of activity at the student house today, broken only by students racing outside at the first hint of aftershocks. We now have 20 students staying at the house and another 7 commuting, and Garry declared HELP open for business. Students not volunteering for the Red Cross were put to work getting our temporary office up and running. Electrical engineering students wired the house to run off a small generator and inverter, while an alumni accountant worked with computer science students to retrieve the accounts from a rescued hard drive. Another student, who had worked as a carpenter for a year before applying to HELP, installed new locks on doors and a team of students cooked the traditional lunch of rice and beans. We have been able to recover all but five student folders, and two student advisors began organizing and filing them. ESL teacher Samson Charles braved the destroyed HELP Center to extricate his computer and library books; Samson will begin intensive English classes on Monday.

While we will be able to keep the students busy in the short time, getting HELP and our neighbours back on their feet, we have started to think about how we can get the students back in school. We will be meeting with the universities in the coming days to see what their plans are and then formulate ours. Our goal is to put as many students back in school as quickly as possible and to keep the other students as productive as possible in the relief efforts.

Again, I would like to thank everyone who has donated in the past 10 days. It's hard to explain the conditions I found here. All gas stations and banks were closed, drinking water was scarce, roads were blocked by debris, and the electric grid was down. Water and gas have become less scarce, but banks remain closed, and I think it will be some time before the city's electric grid is back up. In the midst of destruction, scarcity and uncertainty, it has been a tremendous relief not to have to worry about how were were going to fund our relief efforts and to have the resources at hand to do what we thought best. Everyone at HELP is truly grateful! Barely After the quake a week We Have accounted for all Students and staff, found medical care for Those in Need, Everything We Could retrieved From The HELP center, set up temporary headquarters and Assigned Students to relief work with the Red Cross. None cette Would Have Been With You possible.

Out of 108 students currently enrolled in HELP, we have positively located 105, all of whom are alive and well. We had hoped to have 100% accounted for by the end of the day, but it was not to be. For the remaining three, we have sent out a general appeal on 3 Port-au-Prince radio stations.

We brought one student to an Israeli hospital which has just been set up, and our Administrator and longest standing employee, Edelyne Paul, got x-rays which revealed no break in her leg.

Additionally almost all alumni have been accounted for. So far we have been extraordinarily fortunate.

Lastly, we visited the HELP center today. I think the pictures tell the story better than I can. It is a miracle that everyone made it out alive.





My sincere thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Your generous financial support provided us with resources needed for the immediate task of locating and caring for the HELP family of students and staff. Now, we look forward to rebuilding HELP, and having HELP assist in rebuilding Haiti.

The following message is from Conor:

I'm writing this on Saturday night, but you likely won't read it until Sunday morning at the earliest because internet is one of the many rare commodities. Saturday and Sunday still mean something to you, but there aren't really any days of the week here. Everything is rightly referred to as before and after. At a pharmacy where I was looking for eardrops the pharmacist asked "when did your ear start hurting?" To which a customer next to me said slyly, "Tuesday, right?"

Before and after. Before, when life was normal, very difficult but predictable, and after, after those few seconds when Port-au-Prince changed forever and with it, people's lives. Most people sleep outside now, even those whose houses are still standing. "Most" means hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in parks, on peoples lawns, public squares and on the streets; from dirt alleys in neighborhoods to major city thoroughfares, the streets close at dusk as people sweep up and then lay their bedding, placing makeshift barriers and slow burning fires to warn the occasional passing vehicle. It's hard to tell how long this can last, but after only four nights, it is an accepted routine.

Rather than sleep in the streets, many more hundreds of thousands have left the capital, heading back to their hometowns in what must be the largest reverse migrations (urban to rural) in Haiti's history. In the hours following the quake, many people started walking home, including a friend who walked for 2 days to the town of Jacmel. We set up our HQ at a student house that survived virtually untouched and started contacting all the students today, via text message and phone calls, to find out where they are. Most of the HELP students who come from outside the capital have also returned to their families, where they have a bed, food and water and peace of mind. It reassures us to know that they are back with their families. It's also reassuring to look at the list of all the places they have returned to; towns and cities, small and large, all around the country. In the midst of horror and tragedy, it's a nice reminder that HELP is fulfilling its mission to find the best students, no matter where they are. We have positively located over 70 students, staff and alumni, and so far we have not had a single report of anyone who died. We are hopeful that we will locate the remaining people in the coming days.

I want to send out a special thank you to everyone who has donated in the past few days. These donations come at a critical time. Tracking down the students takes resources that are increasingly expensive; with all gas stations closed since the quake, gas is selling at $10 a gallon, and telephones which sold for $10 new last week are selling for $40 used. We still need your contributions to ensure that we track down each and every member of the HELP family. Once we do so, we will think about ways we can use our resources to help others. In the midst of overwhelming devastation, we have no choice but to push ahead.
