Summary of Aid in Leogane, Haiti

Children at Orphanage joyful as they receive much needed relief supplies from ICA.

Below is the update for summary of aid delivered on Jan 26-27 in Leogane, Haiti: 

                MRE's    4,016

                Meals    40,160

                Water    11,209 gallons

                Blankets               400

                Powder milk         1,000 boxes

                Estimated 21 helicopters used

                20 truck loads

One of 20 trucks ICA used this week to distribute food, water, blankets and other relief materials.

Wed Jan 27: Only 2 helicopters; Marines are restocking their supplies. They asked us if we would help some orphanages tomorrow, we said yep. They are organizing the effort.

This worked fine it gave us time to spend at orphanage with the pastor who started it.  His story is remarkable. Basically used his business to build the school, orphanage and church. More on this later. 

Working  on getting a bulldozer to clear the rubble from the orphanage compound, church and school . Looks promising at this point.

Remnants of an Orphanage in Leogane, Haiti, leveled by the January earthquakes. ICA committed to rebuild the orphanage, school and church.

Materials purchased to build shelters to get the children a place to sleep:

                100 6 X 4 sheets of tin roofing

                2x4x16 feet 200 pcs

                2x4x14 feet 50

                1x4x16 feet 180 pcs

                4x8x1/2 plywood 45 pcs

                160 pounds of nails

                3 hammers

                3 shovels

                3 locks

I think we can build the Taj Mahal!

Child at Orphanage happy to receive much needed relief supplies from ICA.

This message was received from the U S Marine Sgt we have been working with:

Received approx 5 pm today:  We just received a call from Gunnery Sgt. Josh Wruble.  He has a big order for you to pick up first thing tomorrow morning. Call him ASAP.  He called our office.

The Sgt called me and informed me that the coast guard dropped 2 tractor trailer loads of supplies and asked the marines if they knew who could handle distributing them. They said yes and that's that. 

This message was received at 6pm this evening from Canadian Naval Commander:

HMCS ATHABASKAN has left Jamaica on time. We are anticipating an early arrival in the waters off Leogane.

Wondering how your day went and if you were able to get those Tin roof sections up to the Orphanage. I want to best prepare our teams with the right tools for the job.

Has your movement around Leogane turned up any other similar shelter building jobs which our manpower might be able to help with. Cannot promise to get manpower to a job, can only brief the team here on the options out there where human suffering is in need of shelter and generator / well water repairs.

Thanks for your patience. 

Tomorrow looks to be a busy day. Construction projects going on and a heavy distribution schedule.

Thank you for all your prayers. The favor we have has been incredible. The people we are serving for the most part orderly and very grateful. We have been able to stock 3 orphanages with several months food supplies each. We are the only ones reaching the orphanages here.

Dennis Russell, Missions Pastor of Victory World Church Atlanta, partnering with ICA to deliver life saving relief supplies to orphanage in Leogane, Haiti.

What a privilege we've all been given. Each one of you have made this possible.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Love,

Pat

Where were you able to get lumber? It's a wonderful outpouring of goodness.

Haiti right now truly needs help, Especially; leogan. BUt would Haiti ever get that help with a mayor who stole $3,000,000
when the country did not have any earthquake. Who is asking for this man logic when he has to borrow it from others through voodoo and telepathie, and necromancia so others can remain crazy so he can act sober.
Who really from Haiti and from the US need this corrupt man to remain steady while The Haitian people are perishing. Unless others relly wants voodoo from this man to use it for themselves and Haiti and their own children and family. It's not time to involve this man any longer with power and leadership. Especially where God talk about Isaiah 10. Manasseh, Matthew 24v7 revelation 6 v12-14 rev 16v14-18 and Isaiah 66. Why do we get in for such a leader and make good people pay. Especially that the US threw Him out of the country.
He should not be there in this time to have his demons harass others while he had the St Croix hospitals close and keep passing the people under his butt and his back.
