(8 am. - promoted by ek hornbeck)

On Wednesday, February 10 will conduct a special teleconference that will be streamed live on line.

Hear first-hand how our medical teams set up makeshift clinics to triage patients on the grounds of destroyed hospital structures; how we accomplished complicated surgical procedures in an inflatable hospital and tents; and the future of our work as we continue to address medical challenges the Haitian people are facing.
Find out how donations are being put to work. Ask your questions.

I'll Definitely Check It Out (4.00 / 9)

Hearing about the logistics as well as the people will be something not to miss.

Thanks TMC.

Thriving Black Markets in Haiti Aid (4.00 / 10)

International efforts to help Haiti recover are still gaining pace as the World Food Programme distributes about 680 tonnes of food each day. But aid agencies believe that 10 per cent of the donations are being sold on the black markets in Haiti - including donated second-hand clothes and aid items meant to be distributed for free. As a result, food prices, including those of rice, have doubled. Indeed, the economic situation is so difficult that a lot of donations are not reaching their destinations. Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar reports from Port-au-Prince.

Thanks, TMC!!! (4.00 / 1)

Was scheduled for this tele-conference, but could not make it -- it will be written up, however, according to an e-mail I received. The response for this tele-conference, apparently, was overwhelming.

As you may have all gathered by now, (4.00 / 2)

if you read the first story in the Afternoon Edition, we have been more than a little busy. Those of us who are leaving here this weekend are chuckling that this is our "fair well" send off party.

I will try to post the links to the teleconference replay in the body of the diary.
