Here's the terminal at Cap Haitien Haiti when we were there 6 years ago
Locally here on Provo there are centres for collection of water and clothing for our friends suffering in Haiti. We heard from our Turtle Tail Neighbourhood watch folks that the Provo Air Centre was needing volunteers and help. The Provo Air Center is now a central staging point for relief workers and pilots and anyone wanting to contribute aid in a direct and personal way was being asked to help by feeding the pilots and aid workers. Many of these wonderful folk are volunteers and all of them are on tight budgets. We were also asked to help by driving them between the Air Center and their hotels.
A unique looking dwelling in Cap Haitien........I can imagine how grand it might have looked in it's hey day.
In many cases these people are unable to get into Haiti for up to several days due to airport crowding and slot restrictions. They need transport to a hotel. The PAC drivers are hard pressed to keep up with demand.
I loved this small stretch of coastline in Cap Haitien....note the clothes laid out to dry on the rooftop.
Our neighbour was helping out at the Provo Air Center yesterday afternoon and the stories were amazing. Aid workers were enroute in to Haiti and expat survivors coming out. Some hadn’t eaten in 5 days. Our many neighbours on Turtle Tail were helping out down there as well as donating food and services. Barb wants everyone to know that there was overwhelming expressions of gratitude and appreciation from those being helped. Our folks are really making a difference. Thankyou to all! Please contact your local Red Cross , Salvation Army and donate all that you can.
Haiti…….you are all in our prayers,
