Since early May these pages have been quiet. That’s because our efforts to bring medical aid and food into the neighborhoods of Port au Prince have been thwarted by Haitian officials. But that has not deterred the Good Samaritan Hospital from doing what is possible to bring help to those in need.
Before our entry to Haiti was blocked plans were already being developed to rebuild schools that had been lost to the earthquake. That idea survives today but in a modified format. One school has been contacted and Good Sam has been working with the school Administrator and teachers to develop a plan to restart the classrooms so students can get back to school and begin to bring some form of normalcy back into their lives.
By the end of May we have been providing financial support to one school with around 75 - 100 students. With funds available from the earlier efforts we will be able to continue support for the next four to five months.
As your generous support provided comfort, food, and medical aid, it is needed now to restart schools and teach the children. As funding becomes we plan to open additional classrooms. As we continue these efforts this site will be updated to keep you informed.
Plans continue to be developed to construct a new school. As those plans become more developed we will keep you informed.
Please check back from time to time as new information will be posted as it becomes available. As before, you can use Paypal to make donations to the recovery efforts.
