New Friends in Haiti - April 12 - 15, 2010
Phyllis Kalifeh
promote the work of Project K.I.D. Pat Edington of Mobile is also
accompanying Paige for the trip.
Alonso Mourning of the Miami Heat was also visiting Haiti with Dr.
Green from Project MediShare and Cheryl Mills, Chief of Staff for
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Paige had opportunity to meet
with them. There are proposals to expand Project MediShare's work
establishing 13 Trauma 1 units in the departments (states) of Haiti.
Paige reiterated her desire to have PlayCare co-located at each of
those planned sites!
Seeing is believing and there was a warm response to Project K.I.D.'s
PlayCare site at MediShare. We are hopeful that funding proposals
will be received favorably to allow more children to receive services
there.
Paige also met with folks from the Angels of Light at Tabarre. There
are needs to establish four PlayCare sites in collaboration with
them. Project K.I.D. is seeking funding to get the kits there and to
pay stipends for Haitian workers to staff PlayCare sites. Volunteers
interested in traveling down to help set up PlayCare should contact
Project K.I.D. or visit the website at: http://www.project-kid.org
Stay tuned! Keep those prayers and good thoughts flowing...
