comings and goings

In early July we sent our second shipment of hospital beds to Haiti: the 35 used beds were donated by the generous Bethanien Hospital in Germany and were scheduled to arrive in Haiti in early August.

Much like the delays from traffic jams and winding security lines during the heavy summer travel seasons across the US and Europe these days, our exciting shipment encountered some delay in the Caribbean due to the huge amount of cargo destined for Haiti during the busy summer months.

After three weeks of delay, while our partners at Hôpital Sacré Coeur have continued caring for patients on makeshift cots and temporary beds, we are very happy to announce confirmation that our shipping container has arrived! The precious container was discharged this week in Cap Haitien and the beds will reach the hospital soon.

We hope that all our supporters and fans are enjoying a great summer of smooth sailing and fun travels, and that you will stay tuned for more updates and pictures!
