Container number 94 was finished yesterday (Saturday Sept 18th)  in record time with the warehouse vacated by 11am. A massive amount of PPE was included with a value in excess of $180,000! In addition we loaded virtually all the wheelchairs and medical items on hand along with over 500 boxes of books. Also much credit to Bob Beath and his team who culled and repacked all the books for the load. In all a very efficient and successful loading. Thank you for making it happen! Brian Hall ​Rotary Club of Grand Bend.

--HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE DISPATCH 3 – SEPTEMBER 5, 2021--
HRDF’S “THREE H’S” IN COASTAL AQUIN, HAITIHUNGER – HEALTH – HOUSING
Since the mid-August earthquake and tropical storm, the Haitian Resource Development Foundation has framed its emergency response mission according to a “Three H” formula – broadly defined as hunger, health and housing. This gives logic to the “demand side” of the disaster, namely how the victims identify their priority needs, and also the “supply side” of what Aquin has to offer, namely HRDF’s coordinated appeals, outreach, organization and delivery of aid. For donations: hrdf.org
