Haiti Earthquake Relief March 7 Update on OM’s Haiti Involvement During the first week of March, a couple sent by the OM office in the Netherlands helped our work in Haiti. He is a structural engineer and inspected several buildings including orphanages, churches and some houses. He provided reports with recommendations on each. The wife is a psychologist, and she met with hundreds of adults and children, helping them process their reactions to the earthquake and the pain of their losses. At the end of the week, an eight-member medical team sent from OM's staff in Uruguay arrived to assist. They are helping to serve a volunteer medical clinic and also are visiting orphanages and doing clinics for the children. Our team continues to deliver food to various locations. At OM’s office in the USA, staff are collecting some specific food and hygiene items and some shelter items to fill a shipping container. After this shipment, we will focus on obtaining food and supplies within Haiti to help stimulate the local economy. OM's Caribbean team is grateful for the funds they continue to receive from various OM offices around the world. To give toward the relief efforts, go to Canada Helps .
