From the co-founder
Our long-term goal is to serve the Dominican-Haitian populations living within the most isolated and destitute rural communities within the Dominican Republic. However, in the short term, we are a encouraging all of our OCDH friends in the US, Dominican Republic and Haiti to give and help with the relief effort. We have sent a small group of doctors as a part of a larger medical team to Port-au-Prince, and are also coordinating and facilitating the efforts of indivuals and organizations on the ground in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We have established a special Haiti Earthquake Fund to help finance these efforts.
Because we are a volunteer organization, 100% of your HelpHaiti donation goes directly to support the medical, rescue, and translator volunteers who are on the ground. Your money will be used to purchase the supplies that are specifically requested by the field team and taken across the border to Haiti from the Dominican Republic. Remember to write OCDH/HAITI in the description on paypal.
If you would like to support the long-term goals and mission of OCDH, to assist the unique Haitian-Dominican population, to help OCDH develop into a well-established instutition and support projects already underway to assist the Haitian-Dominican people, please do consider donating to us on our "Donate" page. Please write OCDH/GENERAL in the paypal description line.
Thank you and be blessed.
Best wishes,
