Sun in Haiti – Day 3

Day Three, January 22nd

The day begins early in Haiti at 5am when the sound of the Haitians’ singing permeates the air. They sing songs of encouragement to each other to press on and not give up. Sun describes their positive attitude simply as ‘amazing’.

At 7.55am, an aftershock struck. It was short but strong an estimated 6 on the Richter Scale. At 8.05am, a second aftershock struck.

Sun visited the Haitian press and spoke with families that lost their homes that the world sees their suffering and wants to help. She told them that doctors and nurses from around the world are coming to help alleviate their suffering.

The day is a fruitful one and in all the team perform over 100 surgeries on injured Haitians, however there are still many that need help. This can be seen from the massive crowd waiting outside the makeshift medical base, trying to get in to seek medical treatment.

Sun in Haiti – Day 1 & 2

Dear readers,

I’m sure you’ve already been blown away, as I have been, by Sun’s relief efforts in Haiti. Below is a detailed account of the day-to-day efforts of Sun and her team of volunteers to help the land of Haiti.

Day One, January 20th

After a long journey including a stop-off to pick up medical supplies, the first team of Citycare volunteers reach Haiti. They immediately start treating victims of the earthquake. Citycare is a non-profit organisation with whom Sun sometimes works with in her humanitarian efforts. These volunteers come from all over Asia and have travelled for days to reach Haiti!

Meanwhile Sun begins to make her day-long journey to Haiti.

 

Day Two, January 21st

After a day long journey, Sun finally arrives at Haiti. She immediately sees many injured Haitians treated by the volunteer doctors and nurses.

The victims injuries are many and extensive. Having no medical aid for almost a week, many of their injuries have become infected and are now even more difficult to treat. There is an urgent need for more doctors and nurses.

At the end a long day Sun notes, ‘The day ends with a heavy heart. But hope comes from seeing the Haitian’s resolve and positiveness’. (http://twitter.com/mynameissun)
