<p class=MsoNormal>Participation looks to be widespread with tickets sold or

success is ticket sales because ticket income is needed to cover all expenses

need every Rotarian to buy at least one or two tickets to make this

Earthquake Relief Efforts District 7020 Summary 2 Current through Feb. 20<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On Saturday, February 20, 2010 a delegation of Rotarians (PRID
Barry Rassin and PDG Richard McCombe) along with the Haitian Ambassador to
The Bahamas Louis Harold Joseph (Honorary Rotarian) and Pilots Paul Pyfrom
and Paul Aranha (mentioned because of the many, many relief flights they have
volunteered to fly, especially Paul Aranha) flew from Nassau, Bahamas to Port
au Prince, Haiti. Our purpose was to visit the epicenter and to meet with
the Rotarian Leaders who have continued working tirelessly to bring relief to
all they can. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Barry Rassin reported, “We were met at the PAP
International Airport by Rotarians from Haiti: PDG Amos Durosier and his wife
Arlette, DGN Dr. Guy Theodore, AG Caleb Lucien, AG Dr. Claude Surena, PP
George Nicolas, and Ted Lazarre. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“First we met as a group for a briefing on the
current needs in Haiti resulting from the earthquake on January 12 and the 54
subsequent tremors. We then joined the Prime Minister for Haiti, the
Honorable Jean-Max Bellerive, and had a very cordial and accommodating
meeting. He expressed his appreciation for what Rotary has done over many
years in Haiti and specifically for what they continue to do now. He stated
that all Haitians know Rotary and what they do.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The following is a synopsis of the two meetings:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>It is believed that
250,000 have lost their lives to the earthquake.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>One million are homeless
and need shelter and about 40% of the homeless are children.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>Food, water and shelter
are the priorities for all the country. The migration from PAP has
placed a burden on all the other cities on top of the obvious burden in
PAP.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>For shelter there is
still a major need for tents and/or tarps in order to at least provide
some shelter for those who have been left homeless. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>80% of the schools in
PAP have been destroyed. On Tuesday, February 23 the government met
with the Association of all Schools in order to try to get them open to
the degree that at least the children have a place to go and a meal to
eat. (It may be their only meal of the day). If we can get larger tents
(20 x 20) next to the schools then they can at least meet. The children
are considered a priority by the Government. Many students have died,
many teachers have died. 80% of the 80% were private schools but the
government accepts their responsibility to get schools going to
accommodate all the children. The consolidated education fund will
continue to do everything it can to restart the schools. Clearly Rotary
can help with the schools.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>Rotary’s final NGO
status will be complete in days but in the meantime The Prime Minister
will give us a letter of authorization to clear customs efficiently and
duty free. (This will only apply if advance notice is given to the
local Rotary Leadership with details of the goods shipped, time and
place of arrival and intended rotary destination). The priorities for
incoming shipments will first be the NGO’s with proper
documentation, second urgent commercial goods and lastly all other
commercial goods. This is important as the customs duties have been
restored in order to ensure that only appropriate items are received
duty free.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>While temporary shelter
(tents and tarps) is critical, work has to begin on sustainable
housing. It must be done in a way that provides jobs for the short and
long term as well as shelter and an infrastructure to support the
residents (homes, sanitation, water, agriculture, trade, transportation,
etc.).<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>The government
appreciates the opportunity to spread out the population density to
improve all facets of PAP life. With the support of the local
population and the recognized needs along with international support,
the government should be able to make the changes they could not make
before.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>It is clear that a
caution light is now up for all to see with continued relief support for
free food and water. A substantial part of the economy is small farms
and small business along with street vendors selling produce, fruits,
rice and other staples. With incorrect levels of free items distributed
it puts the single family business in financial trouble spiraling the economy
downhill. We must be cautious not to “kill” the economy
through well intentioned donations. The economic balance needs to be
enhanced through the efforts of Rotary and other NGO’s. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>A Post Disaster National
Assistance (PDNA) Committee has been formed and consists of local
representatives as well as all significant international entities that
are assisting in the restoration efforts. Rotary is included on the
PDNA with Dr. Claude Surena on the committee. This committee is making
an assessment of the damages and the resultant needs and will formulate
priorities and prepare a plan. The plan is scheduled to be complete by
March 15 and is intended to be presented to the United Nations around
March 23 or 24.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'>The District 7020 Haiti
Earthquake Relief Committee will continue to meet and assist with
getting the final containers (40 to 50) to Haiti by the end of March.
However, the committee is now turning to the planning for the longer
term relief efforts. We have to consider:<o:p></o:p></li>
<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=a>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'>Basic Education and
Literacy – Getting the children back to school<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'>Disease Prevention and
Treatment – Continue helping the hospital and health workers as
well as developing comprehensive rehabilitation<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'>Water and Sanitation
– The clean water needs must be addressed and effective sanitation
is essential with so many tent cities now in place<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'>Maternal and Child
Health – We need to address the nutrition of the children and the
mothers.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'>Economic and Community
Development – We need to help to boost the economy providing
micro credit for business start up and we need to enhance the community
life for a positive economic growth.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>Barry Rassin concluded,
“We are in this program for the long haul and will be proud as we stand
beside Rotarians in Haiti and lend them a hand as together we rebuild a
beautiful country and show our respect and admiration for the people of
Haiti. <o:p></o:p></p>
