Part of the team coming home Tuesday!

I spoke with Chris this evening.  As time goes on over there it sounds like things are becoming more and more political unfortunately.  Getting supplies out is becoming a real challenge, the reports are that there are a lot of supplies at the airport but getting them out is becoming political and problematic.

The other challenge as well is getting out of there.  To leave, they will need to go to the airport and wait for a transport flight they can get on, so total standby.  ChrisP, Chris and Victoria are going to the airport on Tuesday morning with about 9 other folks from another team to see if they can get out of Haiti to Miami.  We'll know more tomorrow, she said she would call when she makes it to the airport and learns more.

I was asked in the comments if any of them over there have seen Mateo, the answer is no.  He came over earlier and was not with this organization, so they don't believe he was ever at that camp where they are at.  Hopefully he has been heard from since the comment was posted.  Was he due back into work and did not show up?

  1. Thanks for checking on Mateo. I'm just back at work as I've been off . . . but I don't think he's scheduled to come back for a while . . . thanks again!
