I am developing more contacts and trying to create some bridges. Abel (prior post http://www.apoxeeministries.org) just returned from Haiti and tells us it is far, far worse than than the news is reporting. not a surprise, but definitely a reality check. He and his organization are trying to get as many children out as possible, at least on a temporary basis. There are other groups also doing this. just yesterday a local group was able to get 100 kids out on an old cargo plane and came in local to me at Ft. Pierce. I have volunteered to take a few of these kids in when needed. at the moment i am trying to get Abel linked up with the group in Ft. pierce, and will have a full blown fund drive going by the end of the weekend to pay for transportation costs for retrieving as many children as possible. emergency visas are being issued and luckily, there are steps being taken to limit red tape for refugee children.
Another friends church , also in ft pierce has a three acre lot where supply trucks can over night , and they are also collecting supplies for the cargo plane to ferry over (supplies in , children out).
I can put you in contact with any of these groups if you think it will help...
