2/8/10: Spoke to Najlah Thybulle stateside. The 4 pallets with medical supplies that are in FL still have not been shipped and the shipper has not provided a new invoice/price to get it to Haiti.
"The neighborhood is becoming more and more unsafe for the children. We were able to purchase some food/water on the black market but we cannot afford to continue doing that at this point".
Food/water/shelter has NOT arrived to serve this facility for 275 people (including 67 orphaned girls) from any NGO's on the ground.
CAT has not been able to secure any short term medical supplies solutions that will tide them over till these stateside supplies can reach them.
LTel 2/4/10: Spoke at length with Najlah Thybulle. Status/needs assessment is as follows:
-Orphan populace is all girls ages 2-22 yrs. old
-70+ children/orphans
-10-12 workers on site
This site has received no aid/supplies. They currently have 9 pallets of Medical Supplies at a warehouse in Miami and need approximately $3-$4000 to get it shipped for the hospital. Currently, the shipper is modifying the invoice to see what the cost of getting at least 3 pallets over would cost so they can at least keep the hospital running for 1 month. The goal is to get all 9 pallets over so they can distribute aid to other medical facilities in critical need. This may take weeks, so on the ground aid is URGENTLY needed for their current immediate needs.

mission: The Foyer Des Filles De Dieu (Home of the Daughters of God) is devoted to providing orphaned, neglected, outcast, and vulnerable girls of Haiti who live in dehumanizing conditions a home, clothing, education, and healthcare in a nurturing and safe environment, instilling hope and encouragement to ensure they achieve their full potential.
-------------------------------------------
L' Hopital Notre Dame De Lourdes.
Initially, Ms. Thybulle opened a clinic in 1994 to ensure that the girls received appropriate medical care. The Clinic burgeoned swiftly as a result of the direct need of the surrounding communities’ inability to have access to medical care. The Clinic offered medical care in several specializations, including pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics, ORL, dentistry, and dermatology. The Clinic provided health care assistance to over 20,000 (between 1994 and 2005) individuals as outpatients only, due to lack of adequate facilities. Recognizing that many of these patients should have remained under Doctor’ observation to effectively treat their ailments, a small hospital was constructed beside the Orphanage in 2005.
L’Hopital Notre Dames De Lourdes provides quality health care to poverty-stricken individuals for negligible fees. Dr. Guerlaine Laplanche, a podiatrist, serves as the Chief of Staff. Dr. Laplanche received her medical degree from L’Universite De L’Etat D’Haiti. However, she obtained her training in pediatrics from L’Hopital St. Vincent De Paul in France. Dr. Laplanche is assisted by six (6) other doctors, sixteen (16) nurses, two (2) laboratory technicians, two pharmaceutical assistants, two (2) admissions counselor, three (3) administrative assistants, and four (4) staff members. Dr. Laplanche is the only full time physician on staff, due to financial constraints. The other six (6) physicians are retained two to three times per week. However, to ensure that their patients receive quality health care, Dr. Laplanche has developed alliances with specialists in different fields. They are on call and oversee the treatment of patients in their respective fields. The mission staff of the Hospital is dedicated to making a substantial difference in the lives of individuals in this depraved community.
L’Hopital Notre Dame De Lourdes is a small hospital with 21 beds which serves over 8,400 outpatients and 2,880 inpatients annually. Although the Hospital operates with limited funds and lack of critical medical equipment, administrative equipment, and medicine, it has saved countless lives and has been and continues to be a beacon of hope in the community. The Hospital affords desperately poor individuals an opportunity to seek and receive the medical treatment they need.

NOTE: 2/4/10 - Spoke a long time with Najlah about these missionaries that are advertising all over the internet that they are collecting funds to rebuild. They are doing this in their name, yet they have current critical first response needs. Yes, they need rebuilding, but these people have their priorities VERY BACKWARD. She's been trying to get them to release funds so she can ship the 9 pallets to Haiti of medical supplies. They won't help. They also keep talking about removing the orphans and bringing them stateside. This is NOT optimum as they are traumatized and they need to deal with the quake and have a transitional period of recovery moving towards adoption.
Frank Chauvin with the Holy Name of Mary Food Fund in Canada is the ONLY supporter that she trusts at this point that will help with immediate needs.
I found this orphanage by reading the following article: http://www.smithmountainlake.com/news/lakerWeekly/wb/233818
Per Najlah, she prefers that we do NOT promote the following Missions:
Ressurection Church in VA
Norwich Mission
Haitian Ministries
Ultimately, these missions will help with hospital/orphanage building repairs, but she needs to meet the immediate survival needs of these children and patients RIGHT NOW.
She's also like help in coordinating the pallets if it can be done stateside. The problem she is running into is NGO's won't allow the shipment to go directly to their site. They will only take the supplies if it goes to their efforts.

I am still waiting to get their list of orphanages they are serving on a regular basis and to see exactly what help they are receiving before I change needs status.

NOTE: 2/4/10 - Spoke a long time with Najlah about these missionaries that are advertising all over the internet that they are collecting funds to rebuild. They are doing this in their name, yet they have current critical first response needs. Yes, they need rebuilding, but these people have their priorities VERY BACKWARD. She's been trying to get them to release funds so she can ship the 9 pallets to Haiti of medical supplies. They won't help. They also keep talking about removing the orphans and bringing them stateside. This is NOT optimum as they are traumatized and they need to deal with the quake and have a transitional period of recovery moving towards adoption.
Frank Chauvin with the Holy Name of Mary Food Fund in Canada is the ONLY supporter that she trusts at this point that will help with immediate needs.
I found this orphanage by reading the following article: http://www.smithmountainlake.com/news/lakerWeekly/wb/233818
Per Najlah, she prefers that we do NOT promote the following Missions:
Ressurection Church in VA
Norwich Mission
Haitian Ministries
Ultimately, these missions will help with hospital/orphanage building repairs, but she needs to meet the immediate survival needs of these children and patients RIGHT NOW.
She's also like help in coordinating the pallets if it can be done stateside. The problem she is running into is NGO's won't allow the shipment to go directly to their site. They will only take the supplies if it goes to their efforts.

This site has received no aid/supplies. They currently have 9 pallets of Medical Supplies at a warehouse in Miami and need approximately $3-$4000 to get it shipped for the hospital. Currently, the shipper is modifying the invoice to see what the cost of getting at least 3 pallets over would cost so they can at least keep the hospital running for 1 month. The goal is to get all 9 pallets over so they can distribute aid to other medical facilities in critical need. This may take weeks, so on the ground aid is URGENTLY needed for their current immediate needs.

This site has received no aid/supplies. They currently have 9 pallets of Medical Supplies at a warehouse in Miami and need approximately $3-$4000 to get it shipped for the hospital. Currently, the shipper is modifying the invoice to see what the cost of getting at least 3 pallets over would cost so they can at least keep the hospital running for 1 month. The goal is to get all 9 pallets over so they can distribute aid to other medical facilities in critical need. This may take weeks, so on the ground aid is URGENTLY needed for their current immediate needs.

NOTE: 2/4/10 - Spoke a long time with Najlah about these missionaries that are advertising all over the internet that they are collecting funds to rebuild. They are doing this in their name, yet they have current critical first response needs. Yes, they need rebuilding, but these people have their priorities VERY BACKWARD. She's been trying to get them to release funds so she can ship the 9 pallets to Haiti of medical supplies. They won't help. They also keep talking about removing the orphans and bringing them stateside. This is NOT optimum as they are traumatized and they need to deal with the quake and have a transitional period of recovery moving towards adoption.
Frank Chauvin with the Holy Name of Mary Food Fund in Canada is the ONLY supporter that she trusts at this point that will help with immediate needs.
I found this orphanage by reading the following article: http://www.smithmountainlake.com/news/lakerWeekly/wb/233818
Per Najlah, she prefers that we do NOT promote the following Missions:
Ressurection Church in VA
Norwich Mission
Haitian Ministries
Ultimately, these missions will help with hospital/orphanage building repairs, but she needs to meet the immediate survival needs of these children and patients RIGHT NOW.
She's also like help in coordinating the pallets if it can be done stateside. The problem she is running into is NGO's won't allow the shipment to go directly to their site. They will only take the supplies if it goes to their efforts.

-------------------------------------------
L' Hopital Notre Dame De Lourdes.
Initially, Ms. Thybulle opened a clinic in 1994 to ensure that the girls received appropriate medical care. The Clinic burgeoned swiftly as a result of the direct need of the surrounding communities’ inability to have access to medical care. The Clinic offered medical care in several specializations, including pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics, ORL, dentistry, and dermatology. The Clinic provided health care assistance to over 20,000 (between 1994 and 2005) individuals as outpatients only, due to lack of adequate facilities. Recognizing that many of these patients should have remained under Doctor’ observation to effectively treat their ailments, a small hospital was constructed beside the Orphanage in 2005.
L’Hopital Notre Dames De Lourdes provides quality health care to poverty-stricken individuals for negligible fees. Dr. Guerlaine Laplanche, a podiatrist, serves as the Chief of Staff. Dr. Laplanche received her medical degree from L’Universite De L’Etat D’Haiti. However, she obtained her training in pediatrics from L’Hopital St. Vincent De Paul in France. Dr. Laplanche is assisted by six (6) other doctors, sixteen (16) nurses, two (2) laboratory technicians, two pharmaceutical assistants, two (2) admissions counselor, three (3) administrative assistants, and four (4) staff members. Dr. Laplanche is the only full time physician on staff, due to financial constraints. The other six (6) physicians are retained two to three times per week. However, to ensure that their patients receive quality health care, Dr. Laplanche has developed alliances with specialists in different fields. They are on call and oversee the treatment of patients in their respective fields. The mission staff of the Hospital is dedicated to making a substantial difference in the lives of individuals in this depraved community.
L’Hopital Notre Dame De Lourdes is a small hospital with 21 beds which serves over 8,400 outpatients and 2,880 inpatients annually. Although the Hospital operates with limited funds and lack of critical medical equipment, administrative equipment, and medicine, it has saved countless lives and has been and continues to be a beacon of hope in the community. The Hospital affords desperately poor individuals an opportunity to seek and receive the medical treatment they need.

1/22/10 Article:
Suffering children are on the minds of Resurrection parishoners, who hold a special bond with a Haitian orphanage.
Among the dead were three girls from Foyer des Filles de Dieu, an orphanage in the heart of the capital city of Port-au-Prince and a "twin," or mission project, of Resurrection Catholic Church in Moneta. In the aftermath, the surviving residents of the orphanage, about 65 girls, and staff members have been left homeless and forced into the streets because the building is not habitable, said DellaValle-Rauth.
As of Tuesday, relief aid had not reached them, he added.
DellaValle-Rauth, who with wife Adele heads the parish's outreach in Haiti, estimated he has made 30 visits there since Resurrection began "twinning" with the girls' home 20 years ago. Three parish members -- Bob Flynn, Terry Jones and Orban Gregory -- were to leave the morning of Jan. 14, two days after the quake struck, on a mission trip to Haiti.
DellaValle-Rauth said the trip, which had been planned prior to the earthquake, has been postponed because the airline canceled the flight they were to take.
"The first contact we had was [Jan. 14] when we found out that three of our girls had been killed," said DellaValle-Rauth.
Since, then, DellaValle-Rauth said he has learned that the girls who were killed -- two 17-year-olds and a 19-year-old -- were away from the orphanage visiting the family of the orphanage's cook when the quake struck. Those three, plus the cook's wife and three children, died when the house collapsed.
The cook was away from his home and apparently was not hurt. Other than minor cuts and injuries, the surviving girls at the orphanage also appear to be OK, according to DellaValle-Rauth. But large cracks in the walls and the threat of more aftershocks have displaced the residents.
"The girls are living outside the dormitory walls -- on the street," DellaValle-Rauth said. "Some of the staff managed to get sheets to them so they can cover themselves up at night."
What they need the most and are desperate for, he added, is water.
DellaValle-Rauth was hopeful the girls and staff would receive water and other support this week with the arrival of a group from Angel Missions out of Roanoke. With the assistance of a supporter in Northern Virginia, who satellite mapped the orphanage's location, DellaValle-Rauth said members of Angel Missions were to try to locate the orphans and provide help.
Besides immediate needs, monetary support is crucial, he added.
"A lot of expensive work is needed," said DellaValle-Rauth of the building. "My rough, rough guess, until someone with expertise goes on site, would be $150,000, and it could be more than that."
Located about a mile from the presidential palace, the orphanage housed girls from ages 3 to 20. DellaValle-Rauth, an engineer who retired from RCA and a lake resident since 1985, said buildings in Haiti are, for the most part, poorly constructed and the quality of the concrete used in construction is inferior.
One alternative to replacing the original building, he said, was to build on land Paula Thybulle, the orphanage founder and director, has been eyeing. It is located near the Port-au-Prince suburb of Crois dex Bouquet, about 10 miles from its current location.
Most of DellaValle-Rauth's information about the status of the orphanage has come through Thybulle's son, who lives in the United States. Communication, he said, is difficult and sporadic.
Thybulle's son told DellaValle-Rauth that a medical clinic located beside the orphanage and operated by his mother was spared, but has been swamped with injured seeking help.
DellaValle-Rauth said he, Adele and the three parish members who had planned the postponed trip are eager to get to Haiti. Their plan, he said, is to go "relatively soon, as soon as commercial flights can get in."
In the meantime, DellaValle-Rauth and other parishoners at Resurrection are busy trying to prepare for the expected arrival of some of the orphans to the United States. Dr. Kathryn Humphreys of Village Family Physicians in Moneta, who has worked with Angel Missions for many years, plans to include the orphans of Foyer des Filles de Dieu in a potential refugee program, according to DellaValle-Rauth.
"We think it's feasible" that some will come to the Smith Mountain Lake area, he said.
Through the tragic events of the past 10 days, DellaValle-Rauth said he has hope for the people of Haiti.
"In terms of lifestyle, to see how people can live on so little and to experience the suffering they suffer .... They have very little education, virtually no medical care and so many infectious diseases," he said. "But the Haitian people are wonderful, so hospitable and loving."
Those wishing to assist with monetary donations to Foyer des Filles de Dieu should make their checks out to Resurrection Catholic Church and include Haiti on the memo line. Mail to Resurrection Catholic Church, 15353 Moneta Road, Moneta VA 24121.

NOTE: 2/4/10 - Spoke a long time with Najlah about these missionaries that are advertising all over the internet that they are collecting funds to rebuild. They are doing this in their name, yet they have current critical first response needs. Yes, they need rebuilding, but these people have their priorities VERY BACKWARD. She's been trying to get them to release funds so she can ship the 9 pallets to Haiti of medical supplies. They won't help. They also keep talking about removing the orphans and bringing them stateside. This is NOT optimum as they are traumatized and they need to deal with the quake and have a transitional period of recovery moving towards adoption.
Frank Chauvin with the Holy Name of Mary Food Fund in Canada is the ONLY supporter that she trusts at this point.
I found this orphanage by reading the following article: http://www.smithmountainlake.com/news/lakerWeekly/wb/233818
Per Najlah, she prefers that we do NOT promote the following Missions:
Ressurection Church in VA
Norwich Mission
Haitian Ministries
Ultimately, these missions will help with hospital/orphanage building repairs, but she needs to meet the immediate survival needs of these children and patients.
She's also like help in coordinating the pallets if it can be done stateside. The problem she is running into is NGO's won't allow the shipment to go directly to their site. They will only take the supplies if it goes to their efforts.

LTel 2/4/10: Spoke at length with Najlah Thybulle. Status/needs assessment is as follows:
STATUS:
-25 bed hospital on site - Currently treating/doing surgeries for 200 patients
-Orphanage/Hospital is not completely destroyed - Lots of cracks - No structural engineer assessment - Not safe to sleep in buildings
-Children are sleeping outside in the open
-Hospital patients being treated outdoors
-Help with water pump/filtration system is critically needed
-They have armed guarded security on site
ORPHANAGE:
-Orphan populace is all girls ages 2-22 yrs. old
-70+ children/orphans
-10-12 workers on site
CRITICAL CURRENT NEEDS:
RICE
BEANS
COOKING OIL
NON-PERISHABLE FOODS/MRE'S, ETC.
WATER
12 - 10 MAN TENTS
MEDICAL SUPPLIES INCLUDING:
ANTBIOTICS
ANESTHESIA
NOVACINE
PAIN KILLERS
BANDAGES
WOUND CARE BANDAGES
This site has received no aid/supplies. They currently have 9 pallets of Medical Supplies at a warehouse in Miami and need approximately $3-$4000 to get it shipped for the hospital. Currently, the shipper is modifying the invoice to see what the cost of getting at least 3 pallets over would cost so they can at least keep the hospital running for 1 month. The goal is to get all 9 pallets over so they can distribute aid to other medical facilities in critical need.
