Patrick and the team of water specialists at Grand Goave camp. This team is focussing on water issues but also doing assessments, where they go to a specified area, directed by OCHA - Office of Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UN. They look for opportunities where they can focus on water, while also informing other members of hygiene and shelter issues, etc.
When Patrick arrived in Haiti on Tuesday, they drove at night to the Grand Goave camp, accompanied by 4 armed humvees with 40 US Airborne troops. The convoy included 2 lowbeds with a dozer and excavator, 2 dumptrucks and 2 other Samaritan's Purse Vehicles.
A water bladder for holding filtered water.
1 small part of the destruction. Aftershocks are frequent but last only seconds. Patrick heard that during the original big quake, that lasted 3 minutes, people couldn't walk as the ground was shaking so much.
Patrick and friends in front of Water filtration unit.
Large IDP camp. What this is all about.
