To All,

 

I have arrived in West Palm Beach for the evening and then we leave out at 5:30 in the morning on a private transport for Port o Prince. It is so nice to get a little information from our team leader this noon that you will see attached below. I accepted this assignment with Blind Faith when my friend Carlos Lavernia sent me an email about 5 PM Tuesday basically saying he had a plane leaving on Friday morning out of Miami and he wanted me on it. I sent him a quick email back saying yes and that is all I knew until today regarding who I would be going with and where we were headed. The adventure begins. We have a variety of people from all over coming together on our team, none of whom I know but several of whom are from Haiti. It seems a bit surreal as I go from this beautiful place of West Palm Beach to a place of devastation in Haiti. We will be working out of two collapsed hospitals but in a relatively safe area of town compared to others. I will try to keep you posted as best I can but otherwise I will update you when I return next Saturday.


Thank you all for you kind words, thoughts and prayers and a Special Thanks to my friend Tuck for all the food supplements and help he provided.
No need to respond to my emails since I will have limited time. I know you are all behind us.
 

Love to all and God Bless.
 

Brian
