Notes:

Patrice Tallyrand is coordinating with HEAS Cholera Response in getting supply support for CDI Jacmel and working with the Cubans, the Canadian Red Cross, MSF and Caritas to procure Cholera Supplies and a site to set up a CTC. Currently, CDI Cayes-Jacmel Hospital is only set up to treat with oral hydration and sending critical patients to Jacmel Hospital supported by MSF (which is now currently turning people away due to max capacity). MSF sent a large load of Cholera supplies but the local authorities have not released it to Cayes-Jacmel Hospital.

All Donations should go by Boat directly to Jacmel or by plane through Jacmel Airport.

All AID to be distributed immediately with the help of Minustah and Office of Civil protection.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Your donations will be used to coordinate our logistic efforts to channel aid from point a to point b. As it is difficult to get aid here by road, and the airport is controlled by international instances, the best way to help is through financial aid.

Goods can come in, and when they do, we need help to get it to different points around the city. For example we are receiving saturday 25000 liters of drinkable water and need to rent trucks and pay for transportation to refugee camps.

This is where your contributions make it happen. For instance, thanks to your help, we were able to bring much needed supplies to the hospital St Michel. We captured the images that keep you posted on the situation thank you.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After a couple of days of clearing rubble and counting the dead, the people from Jacmel are facing a whole new set of difficulties. Water resources are dwindling, so is food. Prices are already rising on the little bit that is left. For example, we've heard that water bags were selling for 5 gourdes instead of one. Rice is already five times as much. Gas prices are also on the rise. A gallon of gas is now worth 500 gourdes.

Back to base, we uploaded our pictures, video, and sound. We’ve been contacted by many people asking what they can do to help and how, so here's an idea of different ways you can help with what is happening, and an overview of the aid situation.

Most of Haiti’s banks are destroyed, so it is difficult to gather funds for the moment, but we've heard that some agencies like cam or western union would be open by Monday. We will be monitoring them and providing an update as soon as possible.

This is the current situation, but there are a lot of things you can do to help. Financial help is better in a sense that even medical supplies have trouble getting through. Security is also an issue. Therefore, it is more efficient to send money. Here’s how.

One could send money through Paypal. Click the Paypal button on this page for a link to the account.

We will keep you posted on the transfer situation. We are currently monitoring the available agencies in the area and will inform as soon as one opens. Here is the information for the transfer:

Name : Patrice Talleyrand
Président, Fondation le Mabouya
NIF (id number) : 003-209-851-0
Phone number : 3648-8040
Address: 14 Rue Salomon, Cayes Jacmel, Haiti

The Banking system is down. That's why we cannot use the foundation's account. A donation will be made in your name to the foundation which will deliver a receipt.

As far as goods are concerned, It very difficult to get anything to Haiti.

The best way seems to be through the Dominican Republic. We are currently trying to set up a maritime route through the Dominican Republic in accordance with Jacmel's mayor. We should meet with him shortly.

The roads are being worked on, so soon, it is dangerous to travel to jacmel by road. Keep in mind though, the structure is severely damaged in several places, even though the road would be open, crossing in some cases can be very dangerous. We would advise against it

Seguin and Thiotte, which were alternate roads, are in bad shape. It’s impossible to get through jacmel with a car.

The sea is our only hope, along with the money transfer system.
