Do you still have the purses the women make for purse parties here in the U.S.? Looking to possibly expand by coffee beans to buying from Haiti. I beleive this helps in some way to get the beans here to promote Haiti more and its needs.

Tom : I do not know when last this section was updated last but it is 2-2-2012 today and I was trying to see what your immediate needs are. I don’t have much money but would love to ask for help for you if you let me know what you need.

I am trying to reach Sean Penn or president Clinton for assisting housing and any building construction with a newly developed construction methodology. We have invented a new construction type using a hybrid foam insulation (non toxic) that is stronger than concrete and steel. I don’t want to elaborate too much in my comment. The structure is designed for hurricane wind speed. If you are interested, please contact me at either my e-mail or at 561-324-1038.

Comment on JP/HRO Video – Rain in a Tent City by Dezari Frank Taylor

thanks to the show with Anthony Bourdain, I have pasted the links for Sean Penns HRO organization to my Facebook. I also donated money and will continue to donate to his organization. God Bless You Sean Penn, and God Help and Bless the people of Haiti!
I promise to spread the word.
We need a JP/HRO for facebook page…so we can show the link easier than the way I did it. thanks

What you wrote is so true! We have notice the same things since we live in Haiti. People in Haiti need jobs, not just relief.

Frank,
I will vouch for Tom; when I followed his fb post it had your name and info on the link. Thank you for your blog. What a horrible experience.

Comment on Cholera – And a Large Dose of Perspective by Cindy Thamer Smith

Tom & Frank,
Those of us who are forever linked to the Haitian people are heartbroken as tragedy strikes them yet again. There are so many “if only’s” that come to mind as I drink my pure bottled water, only due to taste preference, not because my tap water isn’t safe. I appreciate every public word that brings attention to the desperate needs of the beautiful people of Haiti, and I am thankful to you for putting it out there. I am a stickler for fact though, and so must add that the CDC has not definitively linked this cholera strain to any other. They have stated only that they are similar and that more testing is needed to determine the source. They also predict that cholera will be present for up to several years, not 30. This, of course, being if the rest of the world continues to place a priority on it. That means we need people like you to continue your excellent writings so that no one will forget this little country! Thank you!

Frank,

My apologies and thank you for what you are doing for the Haitian people. I’ve made corrections – can you let me know if that’s acceptable?

Normally I remember to do that the only excuse I can offer is that it was getting very late last night.

Tom

Hi Tom,
This post was cut and paste from my blog without any reference…I support people sharing my experiences and posts, but I do not support people taking my work and using it as their own. Please either take the post down, or refer at the beginning of the post that it came from my blog.

Thank you,
Frank

Comment on Haiti Cholera Update from Senator Bill Frist by GinnyD

GinnyD — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 20:19:52 +0000

Thanks for posting this on your site. I am a longtime supporter of Senator Frist. Even though he chose to retire from politics, those of us who have followed his career, know that for many years he has made medical missionary trips to Africa, to Bangledesh, to New Orleans, and to Haiti. He does so without any publicity, and saves lives while performing surgery and treating people who otherwise would not have access to health care. He is an amazing individual and I am constantly saddened that America can’t find a way to utilize his talents and dedication.
