Making a difference
in Haiti and the Dominican Republic

ICC Canada's National Director, Peter Montgomery, along with US National Director, Keith Mumma, were recently in Haiti where they were joined by Dr. Rudy Magloire, National Director of ICC Haiti, and Trudy Bekker, National Director of ICC Dominican Republic (FCID).  The Directors gathered together to assess the damages caused by the earthquake to Grace Children's Hospital. These meetings gave them the opportunity to develop a plan for the best course of action for ICC in the coming 6 to 12 months.

In the picture above, the National Directors stand in front of one of two large military tents (52' x 18') which they erected on the grounds of the hospital on Wednesday. This tent will serve as an inpatient ward.  We are also pleased to report that the medical supplies and a new generator have arrived along with ten large 500 square foot tents.

During this trip ICC National Directors are also visiting the homes of many ICC staff to observe the damage.  In the following lines Peter Montgomery gives a vivid account of the tragic living conditions in Haiti:  "We have visited many of the destroyed homes of ICC staff; it's heartbreaking. Most of the staff are sleeping outside for fear of another earthquake. The whole city becomes a tent city at night - though most of them are not tents but tarps and sheets and anything they can get their hands on."   

We will provide more updates as we receive them.
