Haiti - Earthquake update |
|
 |
For the past two days across Canada people have been following  closely events as they are unfolding in the aftermath of an 7.0-magnitude earthquake that has devastated Haiti's capital city Port au Prince on Tuesday. Canada has strong ties to this Carribbean community and for many of us, it has been difficult to watch and wait. As rehabilitation professionals, the implications of a tragedy such are this are apparent as we think not only about the lives lost but of the cascade of events that will transpire, the lives forever changed and the long-term impacts that this event will have on community. The impulse for many is to offer support and assistance in the relief effort and eventually in helping to rebuild on new foundations. On behalf of the International Health Division, I encourage you to think about how you can help. Now is an opportune time to assist as the Canadian government has generously agreed to match donations made to a number of well-established aide and relief organizations in order to have a bigger impact in assisting Haiti. Please see below several organizations where you can donate to assist in this relief effort. 
Additionally, as many of you are aware, Shaun Cleaver, Past-Chair of the IHD has been working for a number of years in Haiti within several rehabilitation capacity building roles. Shaun recently returned from a prolonged stay in Haiti and has been following events quite closely, connecting with friends and rehabilitation colleagues in Haiti about the situation on the ground as communications have permitted. Shaun not only wrote the country profile for Haiti on our website but has also given permission for us to share with you the update message he sent out most recently to friends and colleagues. I have attached this letter for your interest and have provided a link to the hospital that Shaun mentions in his letter. Thank you for your interest and support. Kind Regards, Julie Hard, MScPT Chair, International Health Division Canadian Physiotherapy Association |
