Change of Plans

Since the earthquake occurred in Haiti I have had some slight change of plans. The Earthquake caused great casualties over 100 000 people lost their lives, 300 000 injured and over a million people were left homeless. Buildings collapsed, including the guest house I was going to be staying at. Before the Earthquake my plan was to help in some orphanages and schools, and maybe do some food distribution. Since then I am now trying to get involved in some clean up and reconstruction efforts and also still volunteer in some orphanages and schools. There is a great organization doing clean up and reconstruction with I may be helping out (no final plans are confirmed yet) called Hands on Disaster Response.
They have a project in Leogane where the Earthquake epicenter was. 90% of the buildings in Leogane were damaged HODR is working clearing the rubble and building transitional shelters for people to live in. Hopefully I will be helping them for the last part of my trip. They are completely volunteer run and have a few spots available for dates to help them in Haiti!

Also I have found a new guest house. The Wall's Guest House run by an organization based in Waterloo, ON called Foundation for International Development Assistance. The organization provides agricultural support for farmer's in Haiti.
