Construction of the Wall @ Lespwa Timoun
I visited the construction site of the clinic for Lespwa Timoun and found that amazing progress has been made in the past four weeks. The barrier (outer wall) is nearing completion and that will allow the drilling of the well and the construction of the cistern and generator house.
Carmel and I also visited and explored several new venues where her medical and nutritional work with at risk infants and their parents is expanding. One such place is a very large refugee center where many thousands are (and many more will be) living in a semi-permanent tent city. This tent city is being constructed just outside Croix-des-Bouquets. Carmel hopes to set up a nutrition center within this tent city in the near future. She is part of the team that is designing and overseeing this project.
The needs are amazing – recent estimates are close to 2 million people living in temporary structures throughout Haiti and just over 800,000 in Port-au-Prince alone. You can financially support this work by going to the Haiti Relief Fund tab above. +TJ
