And just like that, a month after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti’s western peninsula, the Response Team wrapped up their last mobile clinic at the end of last week.
While it’s always a strange feeling to intentionally stop a project like this, part of disaster response is knowing when to pull back and conclude the short-term relief efforts. For us, that time has come! Considering that LQVE Haiti is not a disaster response organization, and that we typically focus our work in areas that were unaffected by the earthquake, we’re very proud of the response we were able to help our Haitian friends pull together.
This small group of 5 Haitian medical professionals attended to more than 600 patients during the 3 weeks after the earthquake. That’s pretty incredible if you think about it.
While we have concluded our earthquake response, if you would like to continue to support relief and rehabilitation efforts that are ongoing in the many affected communities - we invite you to give/get plugged into one of these organizations that we have come to respect and love over the years!
Little Footprints, Big Steps and Konbit Haiti are helping families rebuild their homes and rehabilitate their communities in the earthquake zone.
And
Doctors Without Borders and Heart to Heart International are continuing to see patients in affected communities.
Thank you to all who gave for our earthquake response initiative!! We’re anxious to see Haitians rebuild their communities and are excited to keep sharing our mission with you!
