Forty Seconds that changed Haiti
My love for Haiti started with my first trip in 1999. I’ve shot primarily for the Community Coalition for Haiti, a faith-based 501(c)3 NGO whose primary focus is working with and supporting a small hospital and several medical clinics in the North Central Plateau. I have been a member of the board since 2002. Last March was my tenth visit to Haiti and my first to the Southwestern peninsula.
Right now, we are trying to get several groups of surgeons into Port Au Prince and Jacmel. Today, I am working on arranging helicopter transport from the Dominican Republic for them.
This morning, CCH ran an ad in the Washington Post about our restricted fund that 100% of the money goes directly toward the earthquake relief effort. One obstacle is the staggering cost of flying in the surgeons and gear from Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic into Haiti.
If you are interested in contributing to the transportation efforts for our group, please visit our web site, CCHaiti.org
Air Calvary is a 501(c)3 New York based aviation group that helps transport Doctors and teams into crisis areas. They are good guys and are helping many groups with transport from the Dominican Republic into Haiti. The need contributions to help defray the costs of flights from the DR into Port Au Prince. At the moment, there are four secure landing zones in Port Au Prince. To contribute to Air Calvary’s efforts, please go to their site, AirCalvary.org.
I shot this image of the young boy was shot in a school in Central Haiti. This morning, the first appeal for contributions ran in the Washington Post Metro section.
