So this is what I bring? A few boxes and duffel bags of medical supplies hastily purchased at an open-late grocery in Canada, and an open-Sunday pharmacy in the Dominican Republic? I feel like the young boy in the parable of the loave and fishes.

Of course this is just a start. Our goal is to ramp up our provisions to our target areas by coordinating with other NGO's and international organizations. We really don't want to duplicate. There will be plenty of that going on, likely. So my main job here, for as long as it lasts, is to help coordinate between our staff in Haiti (not quite there yet--in Santo Domingo), who are on the ground, ready, and connected with communities, and the numerous Aid organizations who have the goods, but may not be able to get it out there, especially to some of the more remote or less known communities, but who are equally in need. Sounds so simple right? Right?
