notes: Help for Haiti Update: February 16, 2010 SI's medical team and construction team are now in St. Marc. The teams happily report that they encountered no difficulties or delays in the Dominican Republic or during their travels across the border into Haiti. Here's an amazing fact: On their trip from the US to Haiti, the teams transported a large quantity of donated medical supplies and equipment and some construction tools and gear – and it all weighed one ton! What a great statement about the generosity of Service International partners and donors! Thank you! More information and updates coming soon! ========================================================== Help for Haiti Update: February 15, 2010 Two Service International teams have arrived in Haiti — a team of doctors and nurses and a group of skilled workmen. Read the articles below to learn about the work both teams will be doing in Haiti, and stay tuned for reports and updates. Help for Haiti Update: February 11, 2010 Service International's Assessment Team has just returned from Haiti and is now working with our Construction Team to get ready for their departure on Monday, February 15. When the construction volunteers arrive at SI's base in St. Marc, they will start to work on these projects: --Upgrade electrical wiring in the house where volunteers will be lodging. --Install a back-up battery system for the house. --Build metal frame bunk beds. The team will take some bedding with them. --Build a masonry wall as a model for future construction teams. SI will be using a higher standard of construction to better withstand future earthquakes. To transport tools and materials while they are in Haiti, the team will be using a people mover bus that's been retrofitted and repaired. Here's a list of tools and other items that are still needed to help in the rebuilding effort: --Cordless hammer drills --Cordless saws --Lithium batteries (AA and AAA) --Water purifiers (faucet-attachable and pitchers; other portable purifiers) If you are able to donate any of these items, please call Service International at 636.532.3446. To make a donation in dollars, please click here. Thank you! Help for Haiti Update: February 4, 2010 What we’ve done (so far): • Sent 4,600 units of anti-inflammatory pain medication. • Sent several hundred units of antibiotics. • Sent more than 1350 cases of water and beverages. • Sent a team to assess the quake damage, make contacts, and search for a strategic base location. • Sent another team to inspect our base of operations in St. Marc and locate resources in the area. Three acres have been donated for our use. • The inspection team is acquiring food in the Dominican Republic and distributing it in Haiti. • Formed a medical team of six nurses and four doctors who will be heading to Haiti on February 15 with as many medical supplies as they can carry. • Formed a construction team of skilled workmen who will accompany the medical team and work at the base to prepare it for future volunteer teams. • SI leaders are working with the UN to secure NGO status in Haiti. Stay tuned for reports and information about volunteer opportunities and upcoming trips to Haiti. For a list of medical supplies needed for the February trip to Haiti, please see the list below (in the February 3rd Update). You can also be part of SI's relief efforts in Haiti by giving a financial gift. Make a tax-deductible donation online, or donate by phone at 636.532.9008 or by mail (17466 Chesterfield Airport Rd., Chesterfield, MO 63005). Update: February 3, 2010 An SI team is on its way to St. Marc in Haiti to inspect a parcel of land that has been donated to SI and a building which SI has leased for use as a base of operations. The team will determine what repairs need to be made and what supplies and equipment will be required. Because building supplies are scarce in Haiti, the team will work out the logistics for shipping construction materials to St. Marc so that future construction teams can ready the base for volunteer teams who will follow. The inspection team will also be purchasing food and supplies in the Dominican Republic and giving it to Haitian organizations for the children in their care. On February 15, a volunteer medical team of six nurses and four doctors (two orthopedic surgeons, one plastic surgeon, and an anesthesiologist) will arrive in Haiti to treat patients at St. Nicholas Hospital in St. Marc. The medical team will also transport supplies and medicines that are currently unavailable in Haiti. Service International is now receiving donations of items on the following list of medical supplies. --Crutches --Glucometer with test strips --Urine dipsticks --Insulin syringes --Medical booties/shoe covers --Betadine topical antiseptic --Aspirin --Powdered baby formula --Portable blood testing equipment for CBC, lytes, ABGs --Medicines: Insulin, Heparin For more information about this list or to donate medical supplies, call Service International at 636.532.9008. US STATESIDE RECORD AT: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/1469 ---------------------------------------- Complete Restoration SI approaches a project with one goal in mind: complete restoration. We send survey teams to a potential work site to assess the damage and feasibility of recovery and meet with local government officials and community leaders. We also seek out the most vulnerable residents of a devastated area--the elderly, widows, orphans, and low-income residents--to assess their needs and see how we can help. Next we look for local churches, businesses, and organizations who can partner with us: --Allowing SI to use buildings for local bases of operation. --Providing needed building materials at cost. --Directing local volunteers through our program. --Recommending residents who desperately need assistance. Along with volunteer labor and cooks, SI brings a Project Director who coordinates volunteers and construction and serves as a liaison between homeowners and local task forces. No Job Is Too Big From mucking and cleaning out . . . to gutting and rebuilding . . . to building from the ground up, SI has taken on every part of the rebuilding process and has been a force in the restoration of many regions stricken by natural disasters and war. Most of all, throughout the recovery process, SI seeks to empower individuals and communities to succeed--thereby turning disaster victims into disaster overcomers. -> We have an upcoming team of Eye Surgeons to SIF/CSI in Croix des Bouquets Feb. 19. They'll be here for a week of surgeries. If anyone has need, please message me and I'll get you in touch with the right person.

Update: February 3, 2010 An SI team is on its way to St. Marc in Haiti to inspect a parcel of land that has been donated to SI and a building which SI has leased for use as a base of operations. The team will determine what repairs need to be made and what supplies and equipment will be required. Because building supplies are scarce in Haiti, the team will work out the logistics for shipping construction materials to St. Marc so that future construction teams can ready the base for volunteer teams who will follow. The inspection team will also be purchasing food and supplies in the Dominican Republic and giving it to Haitian organizations for the children in their care. On February 15, a volunteer medical team of six nurses and four doctors (two orthopedic surgeons, one plastic surgeon, and an anesthesiologist) will arrive in Haiti to treat patients at St. Nicholas Hospital in St. Marc. The medical team will also transport supplies and medicines that are currently unavailable in Haiti. Service International is now receiving donations of items on the following list of medical supplies. --Crutches --Glucometer with test strips --Urine dipsticks --Insulin syringes --Medical booties/shoe covers --Betadine topical antiseptic --Aspirin --Powdered baby formula --Portable blood testing equipment for CBC, lytes, ABGs --Medicines: Insulin, Heparin For more information about this list or to donate medical supplies, call Service International at 636.532.9008.

notes: Help for Haiti Update: February 16, 2010 SI's medical team and construction team are now in St. Marc. The teams happily report that they encountered no difficulties or delays in the Dominican Republic or during their travels across the border into Haiti. Here's an amazing fact: On their trip from the US to Haiti, the teams transported a large quantity of donated medical supplies and equipment and some construction tools and gear – and it all weighed one ton! What a great statement about the generosity of Service International partners and donors! Thank you! More information and updates coming soon! Help for Haiti Update: February 15, 2010 Two Service International teams have arrived in Haiti — a team of doctors and nurses and a group of skilled workmen. Read the articles below to learn about the work both teams will be doing in Haiti, and stay tuned for reports and updates. Help for Haiti Update: February 11, 2010 Service International's Assessment Team has just returned from Haiti and is now working with our Construction Team to get ready for their departure on Monday, February 15. When the construction volunteers arrive at SI's base in St. Marc, they will start to work on these projects: --Upgrade electrical wiring in the house where volunteers will be lodging. --Install a back-up battery system for the house. --Build metal frame bunk beds. The team will take some bedding with them. --Build a masonry wall as a model for future construction teams. SI will be using a higher standard of construction to better withstand future earthquakes. To transport tools and materials while they are in Haiti, the team will be using a people mover bus that's been retrofitted and repaired. Here's a list of tools and other items that are still needed to help in the rebuilding effort: --Cordless hammer drills --Cordless saws --Lithium batteries (AA and AAA) --Water purifiers (faucet-attachable and pitchers; other portable purifiers) If you are able to donate any of these items, please call Service International at 636.532.3446. To make a donation in dollars, please click here. Thank you! Help for Haiti Update: February 4, 2010 What we’ve done (so far): • Sent 4,600 units of anti-inflammatory pain medication. • Sent several hundred units of antibiotics. • Sent more than 1350 cases of water and beverages. • Sent a team to assess the quake damage, make contacts, and search for a strategic base location. • Sent another team to inspect our base of operations in St. Marc and locate resources in the area. Three acres have been donated for our use. • The inspection team is acquiring food in the Dominican Republic and distributing it in Haiti. • Formed a medical team of six nurses and four doctors who will be heading to Haiti on February 15 with as many medical supplies as they can carry. • Formed a construction team of skilled workmen who will accompany the medical team and work at the base to prepare it for future volunteer teams. • SI leaders are working with the UN to secure NGO status in Haiti.
