Haiti H2O has been planning on going in to Haiti to visit our partners as soon as it was appropriate. Since we are not doctors or trained rescue workers, we realize that our task is not to do search and recovery work in Port au Prince, but rather to continue to work with people in specific communities as they respond to the disaster that has affected the whole country. Our long-term partnership enables us to work directly with people as they provide relief to those who have been cast out of their homes and to rebuild together for years to come.

We had purchased flights from Air France for February 16, but we were just alerted that those flights have been cancelled. We recognize that resources are critical, so we are looking for other flights, but there is no guarantee that those flights won’t be rescheduled as well. It seems that “the only constant is change,” and we will have to be flexible and patient.
