...even as surrounding areas see the migration of people out of Port au Prince and into Les Cayes. Thankfully, MN is still safe and so is our staff. But many of our staff are suffering from the aftermath of this tragedy: they have lost loved ones, have learned of injuries to their loves ones, or simply have no news of their loved ones. Despite these worries, and despite the challenges of money being low and prices being high, our staff come to work every day. They remain dedicated as healthcare providers to continue to serve the mothers and babies of their community.
MN is reaching out to HIC, the hospital in nearby Les Cayes, to offer support with supplies and staff. MN is also collaborating with other organizations in our area to help coordinate relief efforts and make plans for the difficult challenge of obtaining supplies and medications in the future.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am a licensed midwife (w/11 yrs of experience) from Oregon that has plans to travel to Haiti on Feb 7th-Feb 14th. I will be traveling with my senior assistant. She and I planned to go to a ministry in Canon, but just heard from them this morning that they won't likely have the fuel to help us get there. We are hoping to find another organization to work with as long as we can make it there! Please let us know if we can be of service to you. We would be bringing lots of medical supplies with us as well.
Thanks so much,
Desiree LeFave
