notes: FROM RELIEF WEB: Convoy of Hope and its in-country partner ready to respond to cholera outbreak in Haiti Source: Convoy of Hope (COH) Date: 28 Oct 2010 Springfield, Mo. -- As health officials in Haiti work to control an outbreak of cholera, Convoy of Hope and its in-country partner, Mission of Hope, are monitoring the situation and making preparations to respond. "At this time we stand ready to send in additional sawyer water filters to affected areas where we have a presence through our feeding programs," says Kevin Rose, field operations director for Convoy of Hope. "Mission of Hope is also prepared to go into communities to set up rehydration centers in churches and schools in affected areas." More than 200 people have died since the outbreak. Officials and aid organizations fear the cholera could spread rapidly in the tent camps in and around Port-au-Prince where 1 million people fled after the earthquake in January. "Convoy of Hope and Mission of Hope are preparing for the worst, but expecting the best," adds Rose. "We'll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly." ---------------------------------------------- FACEBOOK - http://www.facebook.com/convoyofhope =============================================== A three-year strategy for Haiti Convoy of Hope President Hal Donaldson shares highlights of the organization’s three-year strategy for Haiti It’s been three months since a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. More than 200,000 people were killed and 1 million were left homeless. Though the weeks since the earthquake have been trying for the Haitian people, your generosity has given countless families in Haiti the strength to move forward and rebuild their lives. For that, I thank you. By partnering with us you have enabled us to: * Provide more than 8.5 million meals * Serve 1 million people * Distribute 4 million of pounds of food, water filters, hygiene kits and other supplies to Earthquake survivors. Before the earthquake struck, we were already feeding 11,000 school children each day in Haiti. Part of our three-year strategy is to expand our children’s feeding initiative to 45,000 kids. The daily meal we provide is sometimes the only food these children receive. In other words, when we feed children, we play a part in keeping them in school where they are learning to read, write and do math. It’s a worthwhile investment because the children of Haiti are the future of Haiti. Another part of our three-year strategy is to continue sending food, water filters, shoes, hygiene kits and other supplies to Haiti. These valuable resources will not only help us expand our feeding initiative, but they will help our partners expand their work, too. We’ve also committed to helping rebuild schools and community centers so that the Haitian people can become more self-sufficient. By equipping the people with tools, training and resources, we are ensuring they have the means to live better lives. Our promise to you is that with your continued help we will remain in Haiti feeding hungry children and helping their families and communities for many years to come. Thanks for caring enough to make a difference in our world.

Hal Donaldson ================================================ FROM THE WEBSITE - FIELD REPORT - 1/18/10: Haitians Desperate for Food The following is the fifth of many field reports that will be sent from our Haiti field reporter Kirk Noonan. Hundreds of desperate Haitians are in line waiting for food at Quisqueya Chapel—Convoy of Hope’s main distribution point in Port-au-Prince. Yesterday, the Convoy of Hope team distributed 100,000 meals here and at five other distribution points. “Having partners like Haiti 1, the national Assemblies of God church and Mission of Hope has allowed us access to parts of the city we could have never gotten into,” says Paul Coroleuski, Convoy of Hope’s director of field services who is in Haiti. “Without our partners we would be like many other relief organizations who have food and supplies in country but are facing enormous logistical and security problems getting those items distributed.” Please help us to send more food to Haiti. Food supplies are running low in Haiti and show no signs of improving anytime soon. But even when food is available—as it is in limited amounts on some street corners from vendors—many families simply do not have the cash to pay for it. “My house is damaged, I need food, but I have no money to buy it,” says Ralph, a twenty-something-year-old who could be speaking for tens of thousands of hungry Haitians. “The situation regarding food and water remains dire,” says Kevin Rose, Haiti director for Convoy of Hope. “The lack of fuel and security issues has made it very difficult to move food around the city. But through our network of partners we are getting food into some of the most desperate places.” Rose says the food being distributed to earthquake victims is inventory from Convoy of Hope’s warehouse that is used to feed 7,000 children each day who are a part of Convoy of Hope’s feeding initiative in Haiti. “That supply will last 10 to 14 more days,” admits Rose. “So, we need to replenish the warehouse as fast as we can to ensure that we can keep feeding the children in our program while also continuing to provide food for those who are suffering from the earthquake.” If the condition of the earthquake-damaged neighborhood that surrounds the distribution point at Quisqueya Chapel is any indicator—Sunday’s distribution of food will only be one of many more to come in the months ahead. -------------------------------------------------------- See also database entry for headquarters contacts: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/550 Headquarters in the US: 330 S.

In the next few days several more containers filled with relief supplies will be prepared and shipped immediately to Haiti.” Initial reports indicate that many buildings, homes and walls toppled under the strain of the earthquake.

More than 200,000 people were killed and 1 million were left homeless. Though the weeks since the earthquake have been trying for the Haitian people, your generosity has given countless families in Haiti the strength to move forward and rebuild their lives. For that, I thank you. By partnering with us you have enabled us to: * Provide more than 8.5 million meals * Serve 1 million people * Distribute 4 million of pounds of food, water filters, hygiene kits and other supplies to Earthquake survivors. Before the earthquake struck, we were already feeding 11,000 school children each day in Haiti. Part of our three-year strategy is to expand our children’s feeding initiative to 45,000 kids. The daily meal we provide is sometimes the only food these children receive. In other words, when we feed children, we play a part in keeping them in school where they are learning to read, write and do math. It’s a worthwhile investment because the children of Haiti are the future of Haiti. Another part of our three-year strategy is to continue sending food, water filters, shoes, hygiene kits and other supplies to Haiti. These valuable resources will not only help us expand our feeding initiative, but they will help our partners expand their work, too. We’ve also committed to helping rebuild schools and community centers so that the Haitian people can become more self-sufficient. By equipping the people with tools, training and resources, we are ensuring they have the means to live better lives. Our promise to you is that with your continued help we will remain in Haiti feeding hungry children and helping their families and communities for many years to come. Thanks for caring enough to make a difference in our world. Hal Donaldson ================================================ FROM THE WEBSITE - FIELD REPORT - 1/18/10: Haitians Desperate for Food The following is the fifth of many field reports that will be sent from our Haiti field reporter Kirk Noonan. Hundreds of desperate Haitians are in line waiting for food at Quisqueya Chapel—Convoy of Hope’s main distribution point in Port-au-Prince. Yesterday, the Convoy of Hope team distributed 100,000 meals here and at five other distribution points. “Having partners like Haiti 1, the national Assemblies of God church and Mission of Hope has allowed us access to parts of the city we could have never gotten into,” says Paul Coroleuski, Convoy of Hope’s director of field services who is in Haiti. “Without our partners we would be like many other relief organizations who have food and supplies in country but are facing enormous logistical and security problems getting those items distributed.” Please help us to send more food to Haiti. Food supplies are running low in Haiti and show no signs of improving anytime soon. But even when food is available—as it is in limited amounts on some street corners from vendors—many families simply do not have the cash to pay for it. “My house is damaged, I need food, but I have no money to buy it,” says Ralph, a twenty-something-year-old who could be speaking for tens of thousands of hungry Haitians. “The situation regarding food and water remains dire,” says Kevin Rose, Haiti director for Convoy of Hope. “The lack of fuel and security issues has made it very difficult to move food around the city. But through our network of partners we are getting food into some of the most desperate places.” Rose says the food being distributed to earthquake victims is inventory from Convoy of Hope’s warehouse that is used to feed 7,000 children each day who are a part of Convoy of Hope’s feeding initiative in Haiti. “That supply will last 10 to 14 more days,” admits Rose. “So, we need to replenish the warehouse as fast as we can to ensure that we can keep feeding the children in our program while also continuing to provide food for those who are suffering from the earthquake.” If the condition of the earthquake-damaged neighborhood that surrounds the distribution point at Quisqueya Chapel is any indicator—Sunday’s distribution of food will only be one of many more to come in the months ahead. -------------------------------------------------------- See also database entry for headquarters contacts: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/550 Headquarters in the US: 330 S.

"Our Haiti country director is on the ground and we are working closely with our partners to check on the children we feed and also to assist victims with immediate needs," said Hal Donaldson, founder and president of Convoy of Hope, in a written news release. "We have a warehouse in Haiti and have food and supplies available to those in need.

Hundreds of desperate Haitians are in line waiting for food at Quisqueya Chapel—Convoy of Hope’s main distribution point in Port-au-Prince. Yesterday, the Convoy of Hope team distributed 100,000 meals here and at five other distribution points. “Having partners like Haiti 1, the national Assemblies of God church and Mission of Hope has allowed us access to parts of the city we could have never gotten into,” says Paul Coroleuski, Convoy of Hope’s director of field services who is in Haiti. “Without our partners we would be like many other relief organizations who have food and supplies in country but are facing enormous logistical and security problems getting those items distributed.” Please help us to send more food to Haiti. Food supplies are running low in Haiti and show no signs of improving anytime soon. But even when food is available—as it is in limited amounts on some street corners from vendors—many families simply do not have the cash to pay for it. “My house is damaged, I need food, but I have no money to buy it,” says Ralph, a twenty-something-year-old who could be speaking for tens of thousands of hungry Haitians. “The situation regarding food and water remains dire,” says Kevin Rose, Haiti director for Convoy of Hope. “The lack of fuel and security issues has made it very difficult to move food around the city. But through our network of partners we are getting food into some of the most desperate places.” Rose says the food being distributed to earthquake victims is inventory from Convoy of Hope’s warehouse that is used to feed 7,000 children each day who are a part of Convoy of Hope’s feeding initiative in Haiti. “That supply will last 10 to 14 more days,” admits Rose. “So, we need to replenish the warehouse as fast as we can to ensure that we can keep feeding the children in our program while also continuing to provide food for those who are suffering from the earthquake.” If the condition of the earthquake-damaged neighborhood that surrounds the distribution point at Quisqueya Chapel is any indicator—Sunday’s distribution of food will only be one of many more to come in the months ahead. -------------------------------------------------------- See also database entry for headquarters contacts: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/550 Headquarters in the US: 330 S.
