Dear Friends of AHDH,
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!
The Association Haitienne de Développement Humain/Haitian Association for Human Development, Inc., (AHDH) would like to enlist your assistance as it plans an emergency humanitarian trip to Haiti, which is in addition to its regular Winter medical mission scheduled for February 2010.
AHDH is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in November 1986 by a group of Haitians in New Orleans who decided to pool their professional, intellectual, economical and cultural resources in order to promote the welfare of Haitians by contributing to and/or instituting humanitarian programs. For the past 23 years, AHDH has been leading medical expeditions to the rural county (Commune) of La Vallee de Jacmel in Haiti . Please visit our website for more information about our organization: http://haitiahdh.org/
Like us, you were probably shocked to learn about the tragedy that struck Haiti on Tuesday, January 12th in the form of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
We, at AHDH, were most quietly preparing for our Winter 2010 medical mission, our 46th, when that bombshell hit. Following the four hurricanes of 2008, which wrought great devastation, Haiti is now facing a disaster of unimaginable proportion.
We, at AHDH, are headed to Haiti (some of us the weekend of January 16th) and plan on taking with us as much medical supplies as possible to supplement what we have in place at the Hospital St. Joseph Codeva in La Vallee de Jacmel, which is, thankfully, intact. The hospital is well-stocked with surgical supplies, 3 OR beds ready, a recovery room and post-op areas, among other things, which will allow us to assist the injureds who could be transferred from anywhere in the country.
We would like to express our gratitude for all the calls and offerings of support that we have received and continue to receive from those of you who have embraced our cause before and who are so willing to help again. In addition to those who have generously contributed of your time and expertise over the years, we have countless new medical and non-medical professionals and individuals who are ready to travel to Haiti immediately to support our mission.
The current fundraiser seeks to raise funds to help defray the cost of medical supplies in support of the earthquake relief effort. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible.
There are two easy ways to donate!
1) Through the Firstgiving website, which is simple, fast and totally secure.
or
2) By sending your check payable to AHDH, Inc. to:
AHDH,Inc
P.O. Box: 2883
La Place, LA 70069
Please keep Haiti and our Haitian brethren in your prayers.
Thanking you for your support!

Aid mission to Haiti with immediate needs:
"As President of Haitian Association for Human Development (AHDH) and Professor of Education at UNO, I, Dr. Germain-McCarthy, am soliciting your help for Haiti Relief. Our hearts are o...v...erwhelmed by the tragedy in Haiti but this is not the time for tears. This is the time to pick ourselves up, be active and join the international community to help Haiti. This is the time to be generous with time and money. Those of us who cannot go, you can help by contributing money and supplies not just prayers. Let's be brief and to the point. We know the hospitals in Port au Prince cannot handle all the injured. The Knight Templars are making arrangements for a 30 seat plane and a helicopter to fly us from New Orleans to Jacmel and then to La Vallee. We are ready to staff our hospital in La Vallee which is intact, well stocked with surgical supplies, with 3 OR beds ready, a recovery room, post op areas, a 50kwatts generator, a water tower and an ambulance. We need: surgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, nurses civil engineers, those in construction We need: analgesics, anesthetics, antihypertensives, antiglycemics, antibiotics, toiletries IV fluids, chloride tablets, etc We need: dry foods: sugar, beans, spaghetti, rice, flour, cooking oil, canned fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, canned meats like ham etc We need money to buy supplies and if you are hesitant to send money ask your doctor or your pharmacist to help you buy and give us the supplies but do something...today Haiti needs more than blessings and prayers. Projected day of departure: Saturday morning Jan 16th from New Orleans International Airport Please deposit supplies behind the gate of the Imani Temple on 2411 Treasure St near the intersection of Elysian Fields and 610 Overpass. The McDonalds is on Treasure street- --Bring your own box to deposit items too.----ASAP--- PLEASE. We would need to collect the items by Friday 2pm. THANK YOU
