notes: -> 2010 HAITI EARTHQUAKE In response to the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, VHP, Inc. has partnered with United Professions AFT Vermont, a medical organization, in order to facilitate emergency medical care to disaster victims. EMERGENCY RESPONSE. The nation of Haiti and, in particular, the city of Port au Prince were devastated by a major earthquake on January 12, 2010. VHP has partnered with Vermont health care workers and other personnel to assist in immediate medical attention and recovery. CURRENT UPDATES POSTED: http://www.vermonthaitiproject.org/html/news.html http://www.vermonthaitiproject.org/html/get_involved.html Our next Haiti trip is scheduled for March, 2010. Please contact us for details. There are three ways for people to become involved with the Vermont Haiti Project:

mission: -> The Vermont Haiti Project was formed in 2007. It is the formal extension of the former "Project Haiti", which for 18 years had been involved with humanitarian services in a rural Haitian mountain region north of Port-au-Prince. VHP has always functioned as a grassroots, volunteer organization whose activities are constantly evolving and expanding in line with the needs of our partner Haitian communities. Our goals involve sustainability and capacity building through people-to-people partnerships, helping to create solutions from the inside out-- seeking to develop healthier communities and cultural exchange opportunities for all. We are in constant communication with our Haitian partners to insure the successful progress of our programs. We schedule volunteer group trips several times per year, ranging in length from one to two weeks. Our volunteer groups typically will have a wide age mix, including college students to working professionals and retired people. Groups vary from four to ten people. Our work does not consist solely of trips of US citizens to Haiti. We also sponsor programs whereby Haitian citizens travel to the United States for professional development and to educate US citizens about circumstances in Haiti. Vermont Haiti Project is funded by donations, and operates with mainly Vermont-based volunteers, although we are happy to include out-of-state participants. There is no paid staff. Vermont Haiti Project is a Vermont non-profit corporation, and in August of 2009, the IRS granted to Vermont Haiti Project status as a 501(c)(3) charitable and tax exempt organization. We welcome anyone from any walk of life who has an interest in participating in, or supporting our projects- either in Haiti or in Vermont.

notes: Source at: http://www.directrelief.org/EmergencyResponse/2010/EarthquakeHaiti.aspx Direct Relief staff in Port-au-Prince managing logistics, supplies to partners February 2, 2010 Two new shipments are en route to Haiti, destined for Direct Relief partners Hôpital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) and Justinian University Hospital (JUH). Located in Deschapelles and Cap-Haitien, respectively, these facilities are treating large numbers of people injured in the earthquake, and are receiving medical aid they have specifically requested to continue their crucial work. HAS is a full-service hospital with an orthopedics practice, which has made it integral to the earthquake response. It is receiving more than $266,000 (wholesale) of targeted medical aid, including pain medications, antibiotics, medicines to treat diabetes, and more. Founded in 1957, HAS serves a patient base of about 300,000 people on a regular basis. North of Port-au-Prince, it has received an influx of patients since the earthquake. JUH, on the north coast of Haiti in Cap-Haitien, has also received a large number of patients injured in the earthquake as people have migrated out of the damage zone. It is receiving a consignment valued at more than $66,000 (wholesale), containing surgical supplies, wound-care supplies, antibiotics, and other needed medicines to support its expanded patient care. Direct Relief staff members are on the ground in Haiti managing logistics and resupply on behalf of our partners there. This assistance allows partner healthcare providers to focus on treating patients, and means they get the supplies, medicines and equipment they need in an expedited manner. =========== Jan 27, 2010 Key partners include: • Partners in Health, which is operating a temporary facility out of the partially damaged General Hospital in Port-au-Prince. • St. Damien Hospital, a full-service pediatric facility in Port-au-Prince, where patients of all ages spilled out into every square inch of the courtyard to receive care. • Hôpital Albert Schweitzer, a surgical hospital in Deschapelles with orthopedic surgical capability. The hospital has been caring for a large number of people injured in the quake. • Justinian University Hospital, a full-service facility in Cap-Haitien, which has received an influx of patients escaping the damage zone and seeking medical care. • MOSCTHA, a humanitarian group providing aid to Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic. It dispatched a mobile medical van to the Haitian border to assist earthquake survivors streaming out of the damage zone. In response of challenging logistics in Haiti, Direct Relief sent two staff members to Port-au-Prince immediately after the quake struck to manage logistics and ensure delivery of critically needed materials to our partners. On the heels of that advance team’s successes, a second team is deploying to Haiti this weekend to continue those efforts. In addition to extraordinary support from FedEx in transportation and logistics, Direct Relief has identified and equipped groups that have chartered planes to “hand-deliver” aid. • J/P Haitian Relief Organization, a team of 20 doctors specializing in emergency and trauma medicine, have dispatched critically needed consignments on chartered planes, for use at Partners in Health’s emergency facility. • Yayasan Bumi Sehat (YBS), an Indonesia-based healthcare organization with expertise in midwifery and obstetrics/gynecology, set off for Jacmel, Haiti, with Direct Relief materials in hand to assist the injured there. YBS responded extensively to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and is a trusted partner in emergency response. Direct Relief is also developing long-term recovery plans for the earthquake response. Experience with other earthquakes (China 2008, Pakistan 2005) proves that rehabilitation and prosthetic support will be crucial in the coming months to help Haitians recover their mobility and independence after amputations and other traumatic injuries. Plans are underway to provide appropriate support. Direct Relief has a deep commitment to help the people of Haiti recover from this devastating event; it informs all of our actions. Donors of all types, from corporations to foundations, to individuals, have been extremely generous in supporting Haiti relief. =========== Please Note: Direct Relief sends medical aid to areas affected by emergencies. We cannot send volunteers to assist with emergencies. ->
