Read a first-hand account of the Hurricane Relief Efforts in the Caribbean Territory. Project Give HOPE�: A Journal Entry from Major Ronald Busroe "Many Want To Help"
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by some of the problems facing Haiti these days. 25 � 29 October has been a particularly difficult week.
� Monday, 25 October, about 150 of the 700 children enrolled at College Verena came to school. After being closed for 3 weeks this was a possible step toward normalcy.
� Unfortunately, on Tuesday, 26 October, a small group of armed men came to the school and advised the director that since the community had called a strike it was necessary for the school to close. The children were sent home. No threats were made at DHQ or the clinic, but for the safety of the employees it was advisable to close until Friday as well.

Major Oliva Gulley - Emergency Disaster Coordinator, The Salvation Army Caribbean Territory - gives a first-hand account of the situation and needs of the Caribbean Territory
The devastation caused by this year�s Atlantic hurricane season � which isn�t over yet � is no longer front-page news but people throughout the Caribbean still face a daily struggle to rebuild their lives. Homes have been destroyed, businesses shattered and usual sources of income such as tourism and agriculture decimated. The Salvation Army is doing all it can to help people on the road to recovery. We need others to lift the banner and assist us in gaining the funds to continue moving forward into recovery.

Project Give HOPE Haiti Relief - Read Major Ronald Busroe's personal account of his experience with the wrath of Hurricane Jeanne.
On 25 September 2004, Major Ron Busroe, Captain Minel Pierre Fils (DYS) and Alinx Jean-Baptiste of Kindernoltife traveled by car to Gonaives. Just before reaching the city a large section of the National Highway #1 is covered by water, creating a large lake. It requires a guide to lead the way and the trip takes about 20 minutes.
News reports speak of Gonaives as a lawless, out-of-control city. We witnessed several truck hijackings, violence, and people selling disaster supplies they had stolen, but we also witnessed the true spirit of the majority of the Haitian people as they cared for each other.
