The kind people at Patagonia have donated rain jackets for our 15 cooks, teachers, and caretakers to better equip them to face the inclement weather during hurricane season. Recent storms continually flood our transitional tents and some of Lafana's buildings and have damaged the outdoor kitchen as well. Powerful rains have a great potential to disrupt life at Lafana, which is located right off the beach. While we are slowly reconstructing buildings damaged or destroyed by the earthquake, our workers are continually exposed to the elements more than usual, and these jackets are a welcome reprieve. They will be shipped down with a host of other supplies, including bedding and kitchen equipment. Thank you, Patagonia!
Other recent donations have included 120 family sized long-lasting insecticidal mosquito Olyset nets from Sumitomo Chemical USA and a large consignment of first aid supplies and medicines from Haiti Participative*.
We are very grateful for these and other generous contributions to Lafana.
If you would like to make an in-kind donation or know of any groups that are interested in doing so, please contact us! Outstanding needs include school materials and hygiene supplies.
*Photos of caretakers dispensing medicines from the Haiti Participative will be posted soon.
