We have supplemented the Haiti team with two dozen international relief specialists, plus there are teams in Miami, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica assisting. We have sent in 14 airlifts of emergency supplies to date, with a sealift scheduled for next week. The emergency supplies include emergency medical supplies, tents, tarps, blankets, cooksets, hygiene kits, collapsible water jerrycans with water purification sachets, and communications equipment for staff. We are also distributing 2004 metric tons of food already in-country (we've applied for an additional 6000 MT). To date World Vision worldwide has raised more than $46 million, including $40 million in private cash, $4.5 million in GIK and $2 million in government grants. WORLD VISION

No other structural damage. No injuries on our campus. Nazarene Compassionat Ministries is working to assess how we may best bring teams of medical personnel and our overall response. We have over 520 churchs spread across the entire country and can serve as distribution sites for other groups needing assistance in distributing relief supplies. We do have some space on our campus to store suppiles as well. If we can be of assistance please do not hesitate to contact me at bdawson@caribnaz.org The Nazarene Mission in Haiti suffered only loss of several hundred feet of security wall.
