February 23 2010 - News From HAÏTI
The Chair of the International Emergency Relief Committee, Clermont Fortin, has had continued contacts by E-mail and telephone with members of the Conseil National d’Haiti (CNH) since our last update on January 25.
All members of the Conseil National have survived the earthquake and are still living in temporary shelters (tents). The building housing the Haiti National Office has been so damaged that it cannot be used.
Few members lost their lives in the South, other members were affected by the death of relatives and friends. Vincentians as most people in Haiti at this time are without much resources; National President Élismé’s house has been destroyed and he is now unemployed (teacher). Contact with members of the CNH has confirmed the extent of the devastation on the members and, the few means they have to help themselves and the poor they serve.
On January 26, 2010, after confirming that banking operations had resumed in Port-au-Prince, the National Council sent, though usual secure banking channel, a small sum of money to test the reliability of the transfer system. The Treasurer of the CNH confirmed on February 6, 2010 that the funds had been received. President Élismé also confirmed that transfers to the four (4) Regional Councils in Haiti was possible. He has had contacts with Executive members of the 4 Councils, they have all survived and were waiting for assistance.
The Executive of the National Council is now ready to transfer more funds to the Conseil National d’Haiti. As well, your National Council will be activating the transfers of funds to the 4 regions as per the Distribution System established in 2009 by the ICG and National Council. Transfer of funds to established twinned conferences can resumed. All transfers, as in the past, are subject to proper acknowledgement and accountability. The Recovery and Re-construction stages in Haiti will take a long time; our Brothers and Sisters need our help now, hence our desire to assist to re-establish contact and channelling of funds as soon as possible. Prayers and affection are requested.
