Personally, I hope this type of transparency remains during the rebuilding process, and as long as it does I foresee continued support and new businesses poring into the country for years to come.
If you or your business would like to volunteer in Haiti, here is a list of organizations who are actively recruiting volunteers for Haiti relief efforts.
1. The American Baptist International Ministries http://www.internationalministries.org/ Doctors and nurse practitioners interested in becoming part of a team are asked to email BIMvolunteers@abc-usa.org to register.
2. The newly-created FlightToCrisis seeks volunteers to join its group of physicians, nurses, clergy, medical specialists, engineers, and first responders. To apply, email reliefcharterflights2haiti@gmx.com and briefly state your area of expertise, and how you feel you may be able to assist. (They ask for only serious inquiries, please.)
3. Doctors, nurses and EMT's who wish to volunteer: The Jatukik Providence Foundation http://www.jatukikprovidence.org/ is offering free flights from Miami to Haiti. Travel dates and arrangements are relatively flexible. To apply, contact Fr. Jean-Claude Atusameso, executive director of the Washington, DC, based non-profit at 202-429-2067 or via email: jatusameso@jatukikprovidence.org
4. Medical professionals and French/Creole translators are sought by Partners in Development, http://www.pidonline.org/ an Ipswich, Mass., nonprofit that has been helping Haiti's needy since 1990. Interested volunteers can apply on there website.
7. A multi-agency group called Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) is now in Haiti assessing what the animals need are. They are lining up volunteers with a history of responding to major disasters and with experience handling small and/or large animals. If you are interested in volunteering, please email bfvolcoord@bestfriends.org
8. Mission-Haiti http://www.mission-haiti.org/ Most babies in Haiti are born at home on a dirt floor. If it is a complicated birth, the mother and the baby often do not make it. We have a couple women in Ti-Riviere willing to be trained to be midwives. If you have this knowledge and you are willing to spend a week in Haiti training them, we need you. If you would like more information on this volunteer opportunity, please contact Colleen at 605-526-4299 or colleen@mission-haiti.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
