It's because of so many other people that 12 of us were able to go to Haiti on Jan 21st and make the difference that we did! There is a lot to come from the trip, and we are sorry that we haven't had time to update things yet... but below is our original plans, which we accomplished!
Reuniting the Freycinet family
It's on our list of things to do, but it's not everything. Our team member Leu grew up in Haiti. His 100 year old grandmother was recently rescued by his cousins before his uncles house collapsed. We know that the conditions in Haiti may prevent us from ever making it to Leu's family, but if it all possible, we are going to do it!
Helping the El Shaddai Orphanage
Team member Edd Cobb has worked closely with the El Shaddai orphanage and has been in contact with representatives since the earthquake. We plan to aid in any assistance necessary within the walls of El Shaddai from simply spending time with children to basic medical necessities such as wrapping wounds and washing feet.
Clearing streets and removing debris
If you've seen the news, you know what the streets look like. We are taking the necessary tools such as concrete saws, sledge hammers, picks and shovels to clear as much as possible from the roads surrounding our base camp and anywhere else that we are able to help.
It's true. Over the past 24 hours since we announced that we have an eleven person team going to Haiti... our team has grown tremendously!! There may be eleven of us flying to Haiti, but it's because of so many of you choosing to donate financially, donate your time, and support the eleven of us that we are able to do it! YOU are a part of our team! Below is a growing list of our Operation Freycinet team. They are making it happen!! //There are more members to this team, we haven't had time to update it yet!
