    About ICA

    International Crisis Aid began in 2000 by delivering humanitarian aid to "no-go" regions of war-torn Southern Sudan. Since then, ICA's programs have expanded to include feeding, medical, orphanages, disaster relief, girls' schools, community development, and rescue from sex trafficking. As an established non-profit, ICA serves children and families in need from Cambodia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea, Indonesia, and Sudan.

    Update on ICA aid for Haiti.

    Update from Pat Bradley, in Leogane, Haiti:

     

    I want to thank everyone who prayed for my healing. Yesterday we took the day off to work out new logistics and to  rest. The marines who have been providing us all the free food we can deliver moved their landing zone which required a change of trucks and developing new sources of ground Intel for possible distribution sites.

    To help us the marines had sent out several re con teams to search for areas not receiving aid and assisted is compiling the data.

    Today we began food distributions again. It was our largest day with an estimated 24, 000 daily rations (feeds 24,000 people for 1 day) delivered.

    The Canadian Navy continued working the Orphanage and made great progress. Below is a message I received from their commander this evening

    Teams just returning to ship. Hard days work. Extremely hot today without breeze.

    Amazing work. One building has all the trusses up for the roof. The other has all the trusses built and the final walls are ready to go up.

    Think we are closing in on opening day soon.

    Everyone returning from that job, even though they look really tired and dirty, they are coming back with huge smiles today. 

    We need to find another project together where shelters are needed. If the supplies can be found then plans can be made.

    Tomorrow Victory World Church and ICA team will continue with more food and water distributions.

     

    Thank you for everything you are doing for the people of Haiti.


    Pat

    I see many companies who still toss their broken plastic pallets
    into dumpster thinking they are of no use. One pallet is equal to
    hundreds of milk jugs or water bottles. This plastic will never
    decompose and they take up a lot of space in landfills. A better
    solution is to contact a pallet company to recycle these items
    even if they're broken. These plastic pallets can be melted down
    to create other products.
    You can have this company in Michigan recycle your plastic pallets at
