I am finishing up with a few freight forwards: supplies donated by Emory University, Gainesville College and Childspring...should be 10 pallets or so. Hopefully, these will make it on a C130 out of Opa Laka, Florida for free.
I am meeting on Monday with the Dean of the UGA Agricultural School to discuss a partnership of ag and poultry experts helping to ensure the spring crops on La Gonave are maximized. This could be an important step in helping the Haitians supply their own food locally, which 50 years ago was common.
I am also excited about organizing a partnership of hospitals, doctors and suppliers of prostheses to help the estimated 100,000 that have had amputations as a result of the earthquake. This plan was hatched last night after a conversation with my friend Ingrid Arnesen in Petionville, Haiti who described walking through a clinic with human arms and legs lying all over the floor. If you want to join in the effort, please let me know. Graham
