make an on line slide show at www onetruemedia com posted by mel at 8 46 pm no comments so i left jan 21st and spent 3 weeks down in haiti with medical teams international northwest medical teams we worked in kings hospitals with mostly alot of orthopedic injuries and amputations and then i went out with a mobile team to carrefour the epicenter of the earthquake and camped at a refugee camp of 17 000 people on 5 acres of land a little from that experience posted by mel at 9 56 am no comments sunday january 17 2010 from northwest news article the grim news has been told to the molly hightower s family 22 year old molly tower is an american woman who had been volunteering in a haitian orphanage her dead body was found from the ruble of the seven story building where she used to live and work molly hightower of port orchard washington went to haiti in june 2009 to volunteer for friends of the orphans friends of the orphans is a chicago based group which runs orphanages across south and north america her family tells that molly hightower had an ambition in her life to work for international adoption she studied at university of portland molly hightower s family told that she returned to america to visit her family before christian holidays but left soon to get back at the orphanage molly hightower maintained a blog where she used to write about her experience at the orphanage and

hightower was found dead in the rubble when the rescue teams searched for her she is survived by her parents and three siblings posted by mel at 11 04 pm no comments interesting news article pat robertson http www vancouversun com news robertson blames haitian earthquake pact with devil asks donations 2438448 story html u s television evangelist pat robertson has perhaps predictably run to the tv cameras once more hot on the heels of a global tragedy and blamed that tragedy on the godlessness of the nation it has struck not content with having once called episcopalians presbyterians and methodists the spirit of the antichrist referring to china s policy of compulsory abortions as doing what they have to do and calling scotland a dark land teeming with homosexuals and fresh off having called for the assassination of venezuela leader hugo chavez robertson simply couldn t help but aim his billy club at haiti even as rescue workers attempted to dig bodies out of the rubble something happened a long time ago in haiti and people might not want to talk about it they were under the heel of the french you know napoleon iii and whatever and they got together and swore a pact to the devil they said we will serve you if you ll get us free from the french true story the aging preacher said on his weekly tv show on the christian broadcasting network as his sidekick christy looked on and nodded robertson continued and so the devil said okay it s a deal but ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another apparently the entire population of the island nation got together had a meeting with the devil signed a really big contract and the horned one said sure i m hiring can you start monday true story the history lesson continued and they kicked the french out the haitians revolted and got themselves free and ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other desperately poor he soon switched to geography and economics the island of hispaniola is one island cut down the middle on the one side is haiti on the other side is the dominican republic dominican republic is prosperous healthy full of resorts etc haiti is in desperate poverty same islands they need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to god robertson has been previously pilloried for defending the brutal liberian government administration of charles taylor who was subsequently indicted for war crimes by the un and has been accused of harbouring al queda terrorists robertson was investigated by the commonwealth of virginia s office of consumer affairs which determined that he had willfully induced contributions from the public through the use of misleading statements and other implications when he asked for support for rwandan refugees but used the money to airlift mining equipment from the diamond mines he had started with zaire dictator mobuto sese seko the oca called for him to be criminally prosecuted but virginia attorney general mark earley declined that request earley s biggest single contributor in his run for office was robertson robertson ended his christian broadcasting network broadcast on the topic of the haitian earthquake by asking viewers to send donations for his haitian relief effort true story ____________________________________________________________ another church leader not being christ like at all very sad i don t get how they feel they have authority to judge others and can justify being hypocrites i stopped going to church for this very reason whatever happened to just loving people not only loving them if they go to your church or are doing something to benefit you i will pray for pat robertson the man surely needs it posted by mel at 5 42 am no comments re haiti when i heard the news of the earthquake i thought to myself seriously have this people not been through enough my heart thoughts and prayers have been with the haitians this past week i was asked last week about going down for disaster relief but they wanted a 4 5 week commitment and i can t do that long away from my family and job and i am already committed to the june 2010 medical team to haiti i received another email last nite about a possible relief team to head down but only for a couple weeks hfh mti have sent a disaster team including papa joe and linda on thursday i cannot even fathom what they are seeing i recognize so many of the buildings and areas that have collapsed the un headquarters that collapsed were just warehouses in 1994 that we stayed in when i went down with the military many of the police stations and even the prison i recognize because as military police we worked at them all while we were down there i am however happy to see so much news coverage on the situation when the hurricanes hit in 2008 it was barely mentioned on news i am up up in portland this weekend it is has been a very busy last couple weekends for us but fun as well and it s nice to get out of town every once in a while many blessings m posted by mel at 5 21 am no comments from hfh website at work in port au prince jan 16 2010 the disaster relief team sent by medical teams international and which includes two board members from haiti foundation of hope has made its way to port au prince to help in the aftermath of tuesday s earthquake the team flew into cap haitien at the north end of haiti and took part of two days to drive to the capital where they began work at kings hospital located about 20 minutes from the airport posted by mel at 5 20 am no comments wednesday january 13 2010 http www kptv com video 22225046 posted by mel at 1 38 pm no comments earthquake in haiti from oregon newspaper medical teams international was whipped into a whirlwind of activity today organizing a medical team to send to quake devastated haiti staff members were up at the crack of dawn firing off emails some huddled in meetings others worked the phones they solicited donations and packed up medical supplies by noon the tigard based group had ironed out key details it is sending a team of one doctor and three nurses to haiti on thursday leaving on an american airlines flight out of pdx international for miami at 12 26 p m on friday morning that crew will take an 8 30 a m air france flight to port au prince the capital of haiti the 7 0 magnitude quake that hit the impoverished caribbean nation flattened buildings likely killing thousands and leaving many injured and without necessary services more from haiti read more coverage from the oregonian and see photos from the associated press medical teams international will provide medical help dr joe markee and his wife linda markee who s a nurse have spent 15 years working on long term development and providing disaster relief in haiti said marlene minor spokeswoman for medical teams international they go down to haiti and work all the time minor said the couple who are retired even have their own group haiti foundation of hope but the couple will be working under the tigard based relief group the other members of the team include anne blaufaus a nurse at providence medical center in portland and deanna king a nurse in washington state who had been on 14 trips with medical teams international they re all very experienced minor said they re taking 7 000 worth of medical supplies including antibiotics and other medicine along with their own food and water minor said the conditions in haiti are pretty dire there are immediate health needs of those who have been injured minor said in a case like haiti where 80 percent of the people live in poverty there s no water there s no electricity they don t even have a rescue team there s no fire department they re going to be dependent on everyone who comes in she said the agency is working the phones trying to figure out where to set up in haiti one of the challenges is finding the safest place to set up in terms of securing a clean adequate area to do medical work minor said another challenge is actually getting through to contacts in haiti where communications are limited at the same time medical teams international is organizing a second team of orthopedic surgeons to send in that group will probably leave next week crews could be in the caribbean nation for some time this ranks as one of the worst disasters minor said posted by mel at 1 35 pm no comments saturday september 05 2009 an article i came across after years of traveling to haiti with volunteer medical teams a vancouver couple has stepped up its commitment to the poorest country in the americas joe and linda markee have created the haiti foundation of hope to firm up their support for a village so poor it barely has dirt people around the country have been helping which is why linda markee opened an envelope recently at the downtown post office and found a 2 000 check from michelle and barack obama i went to the bank and said look at this and they said wow linda recounted the markees son in law a member of the foundation board called the accountant s office listed on the check to confirm its authenticity so did an executive at the local bank according to online reports published after their tax records were released that contribution was among 172 050 about 6 percent of their adjusted gross income the obamas donated to 37 different charities the 2 000 sure will help and the star power of the first philanthropists can t hurt but the level of need is numbing said mike wenrick latin america program manager with portland based medical teams international we try to work with the neediest populations and without a doubt haiti is the most extreme situation as far as environmental degradation community health household income said wenrick it s shocking when you go to haiti and see hardships people deal with it s an economy based on charcoal water quality is terrible years of civil war it s by far the neediest by any indicator it can be tough even to savor the successes said joe markee who started making medical mission trips to haiti in 1983 when we took teams to haiti there always was someone who lived someone who would have died without us the retired doctor said it was a reason to feel excited a success story to enjoy but a haitian friend explained the tragic side of that story you don t know about all the people who die when you re gone their friend said so many babies die when you re not here actually joe kind of had a clue when a team comes in once or twice a year people almost riot to get in he said if there is a good chance your child will die and the team is leaving you do what you can the foundation brings more stable care to the village of terre blanche the name french for white earth reflects its lack of resources that white dirt is calcium carbonate you walk outside linda said and the sun coming off it is blinding they have a hard time growing anything it s desert joe said there s no drinkable water and the road stops at a town five miles away now the foundation is operating a school and a clinic in terre blanche the haitians call it a hospital joe said it s not a hospital the haitian ministry of health found a physician for the clinic which also employs a haitian nurse lab technician and pharmacist the foundation with an operating budget of 175 000 for 2009 pays the salaries the clinic also is a place where medical teams international can assign volunteer teams and it s a reliable destination for medical supplies and gear wenrick said we rely on partners to provide on the ground knowledge and in this place that s the markees and the strong relationships they ve built wenrick said they have the haitian contacts who know the local needs and can provide the necessary leadership that s the key to progress said joe markee who s lost count of the number of times 50 or 60 he s gone to haiti focus on one village the 69 year old doctor said get to know the problems linda 67 said the markees also gained a lot of perspective when they lived in haiti for two years during the 1990s i ve heard people say we re americans and we know what s best for you www haitifoundationofhope org posted by mel at 8 43 am no
