Today a Haitian team was trained to operate a large scale water purification unit providing over 26,000 people daily with clean water at the Adventist University

The IDP camp has spontaneously grown and keeps growing. At night people try to seek shelter in gated compounds to stay away from potential thieves and violence. Very insecure at night.

Doctor and medics continue to treat patients at the Adventist Hospital with new patients still arriving. Used 20 volunteers to clean up grounds of hospital to promote hygiene by taking away the garbage and improperly disposed of needles. Reorganized hospital patients into priority categories. Established water point in hospital.

The water team distributed 250,000 aquatabs to different shelters and isolated areas. They restored clean water to an isolated village 30 min NW of our location. There were 3000 people in village and 1000 displaced sleeping on ground. Trained  local mobile medical team in trekker, providing clean water while out running operations.

A logistics officer was deployed from Toronto and set up a base in the Dominican Republic. The following supplies were also shipped:

  • 4.75 million Aquatabs
  • 95,040 PUR Sachets
  • 66,000 ORS sachets
  • spare filters for Trekker and Explorer
