Haiti Update- March 3, 2010- NCBM Medical teams are serving in Haiti, assisting a local burn clinic, childrens hospital and community hospital. Our first team arrived on January 15 by flying first to Santo Domingo, then taking a bus into Haiti. They began their work on Jan. 15 by assisting the burn clinic. They were able to support the hospital staff of Petionville Community Hospital, a 50 bed hospital seeing approximately 250 patients each day. They are also working at Saint Damiens Hospital and at a clinic in Citi Soleil. Feeding volunteers are also feeding about 3,000 meals per week at the Petionville Community Hospital. As of today, over 150 volunteers have served in Haiti since the earthquake.
Medical Team 2 arrived on Jan. 20. They continued the work started by Team 1 by supporting the work of the hospital and staff. Medical Team 3 had 14 people on it, including surgeons and additional medical professionals to assist with the many medical needs. Medical Team 4 had 17 people on it and continued to assist at the clinic and hospitals. They saw hundreds of people every day.

Please pray for the teams as they provide assistance for the medical and other needs.
NCBM sees this as a long-term ministry. We will be sending many volunteers (especially construction), however, we do not have a timetable established at this time. If you are interested in going please click on the "volunteer now" tab below.
One of the biggest needs is for money for building materials. For $2,300 you can provide funds to build a house for a family. For approximately $12,000 you can provide funds to build a small church.
Scott and Janet Daughtry arrived in Haiti on February 2 and are serving as our long term coordinators in Haiti.
