VIDA remains fully committed to this impoverished country that has now receded into the background after the slew of hurricanes that have hit the Caribbean, Texas and Florida as well as the earthquakes in Mexico. The problems and struggles remain overwhelming for the people of Haiti.
VIDA is continuing to send additional aid to our project in Cayes Jacmel which is still reeling from the effects of the devastating earthquake. A group of physicians led by Dr. Magloir continues to visit Haiti twice a year, bringing with them donated supplies and equipment from VIDA. Thanks to the generosity of so many, thousands of impoverished Haitians have received care. The group has carried over 50 suitcases of expensive respiratory supplies and equipment along with patient care materials. The value of the materials was in excess of $50,000. These types of shipments will continue twice a year due to your support. VIDA has also been donating supplies to a variety of doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who travel to Haiti on medical missions around the country. VIDA has found that this is a highly effective model in serving small communities outside the urban centers.
VIDA thanks the GlobalGiving Community for your support.
