Carrefour

Dieudonner found the team and went with them to Carrefour! Networking in Haiti has always been amazing and now, it is a godsend. The group is sleeping in Carrefour in the open air where once stood a house. Now, there is just a wall surrounding the "house".

They are within this wall, which offers some form of protection since Carrefour is beginning to heat up. Patience is running thin as people are desperate for supplies: food and water, medicine. So they "sleep" tonight in this place.

Bryan has decided to send to Port on the second run at 3 a.m., a pastor who is from Carrefour and wants to return, who comes highly recommended by the missionaries (The Smoker Family). He will go with Frank, the medical supplies, food, and water purification systems.

We have decided to make this move because medicine is CRUCIAL. Bryan's digging skills aren't (as much), though he and the kids want to be there.

We have 100 hours of flight time. We have to use it wisely, and prioritize the flights. Apparently, the Smokers say, this pastor may be able to diffuse some of the unrest ahead of the remainder of the team.

Kudos to Jetscape, by the way! That would be the small plane flight company or whatever-it-is connected to the airport. Bry says they are going out of their way to accomodate everyone connected with helping Haiti: waiving docking fees, leaving doors unlocked when they can't be there, etc. Fly Jetscape everybody, on your next cruise to Haiti. I hear the hotels are magnificent.

Bry is leaving right now to meet Jon at the airport. Jon is, apparantly, not alone. He is flying an injured American cop. That's so ironic! If he knew who Jon was...really, he'd probably arrest him on the spot. Oh well. By the way, if any women out there are in love with Jon yet, yes, he's single.

It's looking like we are not going to make our round trip Fri. flight out. C'est la vie en Ayiti. Bry insists he can run his contracting business on the phone and that Tom Silburn (his most excellent ground-man) can cover the bases. Flights are easy to cancel. They're just really hard to get.
