Update from John Woodberry, February 3, 2010
 Today we did another flight for Danita. Danita owns an orphanage in Ouanaminthe and churches are asking her to take care of children that are brought to them. Some of these kids are badly injured and cannot make a 9 hour trip by road, so she approached MAF if we could fly some of the most serious ones to her orphanage. The other day we flew a child in a complete body cast and another with a broken upper leg which was hurting immensely. Today she had more kids that need to go by air. We are happy to help her!
 We also flew food to two stations. One load included clothes donated from the States. We took this to Port au Paix, where a Nazarene church will take care of it. This village is far away from where the earthquake happened, but it has many refugees from Port au Prince. These clothes and food will go to the refugees. We delivered another shipment of supplies to La Gonave, where missionaries from WISH will take care of it. Below is a thank you letter from the Cheshire Medical Center. We flew one of their medical teams. From Cheshire Medical Center: "I cannot express my appreciation, and that of our team, often enough or more sincerely. Will [White] and Mark [Williams] were incredible. Not only did they deliver us from a place where there were very few exit options, during a national disaster of gigantic proportions, but their assistance once we reached the airport in Port-au-Prince was amazing. Through the maze of roadblocks, caravans, check points, tent cities and helicopter landings, they handled our passport / exit documents, found where our plane had arrived and got us and our baggage to the waiting jet. Will and Mark are two great guys, who knew exactly what they were doing and went the extra mile for eight strangers. They have our undying gratitude and will be the subjects of 'escape from earthquake devastated' Haiti stories forever. Thank you, Will. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, MAF." |
