Entry I

“Samaritan’s Purse”, a not for profit organization from The United States, that has been present in Haiti since the earthquake has donated hygiene kits, rolls of tarp, some food, and blankets  to The Haitian Academy.  These items were distributed to people on campus, and in the surrounding community from Port-au-Prince to Arcahaie.  The tarp was used by the local population to make and cover make-shift tents in an attempt to protect them from rain, as we have entered the rainy season in Haiti.

We at The Haitian Academy would like to thank “Samaritan’s Purse” for their generosity, for sharing with others what they have, and for the support they have provided to those that are in need in Haiti.

Recently we have received a visit from a Trinidadian non-governmental organization entitled “Is There Not a Cause?” at the campus of The Haitian Academy.  During their stay “Is There Not A Cause?” donated tents, bottled water, medicine, rice, beans, flour, water, milk, cookies, and spaghetti.  These donations have helped us support and care for the 200 people on and off campus, who depend on The Haitian Academy since the earthquake, as well as others in the community.  Is There Not A Cause? also contributed to the purchase of other food items and diesel fuel for the generator.  We would like to thank the NGO “Is There Not a Cause?” for their generous contributions and for their engagement to support others in time of disasters.

“Vision for Haiti and the World” (VIAMO), a not-profit religious organization, has been offering spiritual support to The Haitian Academy through prayers and fast.  Recently a medical team of 23 medical volunteers spent two days on the grounds of the campus during which they provided free clinic. We thank VIAMO for having contributed to the spiritual stability of those who live on campus.

“Billy Graham Chaplains” have visited us on campus, and has offered their spiritual support in prayers.

“The Friend Ships” and “Sea Hawk” Canadian paramedics have assisted the medical staff of the University of The Haitian Academy at the Saint Luc’s Clinic for three days.  During those days they have donated medicines and helped care for patients at the clinic on site and participated in two mobile clinics.  One mobile clinic took place in Cimonet, a section of Cabaret, where the paramedics helped the clinic staff to care for 100 patients.  The patients in critical conditions were brought to the campus for hospitalization.  The third day, the paramedics accompanied the clinic staff to the site of a local organization: “Movement pour la Promotion de la Production National et de l’ Education”, south of Port-au-Prince in Carrefour.  During this mobile clinic they were able to care for 114 patients.

The Haitian Academy would like to thank “The Friend Ships” and “Sea Hawk” Canadian paramedics for their assistance, and devotion to help others recover from illnesses.
