Dear Friends;
It has been six weeks since the first earthquake and I just can’t believe that the Lord would have used us to accomplish so much. So many needs have been met and so many needs still exist everywhere we look. To date:
* 850 tents have been distributed
* 200,000 lbs. of rice have been distributed
* More than 800 people have been evacuated out of Port au Prince
* 500 new students have been admitted to our school
* From January 17th until February 28th, 200 meals have been served daily to the Pignon Hospital patients and their family members and to the staff.
* 386 people are now staying at our camp facilities
Through Rotary International, district 7020, more than 130 flights (cessnas, small jets) and DC-3’s have brought food and medical supplies estimated to value more than $8.2 million US dollars.
Hospitals in Cap Haitien, Saint Marc, Port au Prince, Jacmel, Cayes, Port de Paix, Pignon and Saint Raphael have received medical supplies and medicine. As I was delivering some supplies to two health care centers and hospitals in Port au Prince recently, the medical directors both just looked at me and said, “We are good for supplies now for two months with what you brought. How did you know exactly what we needed?” The answer was obvious to me, it is the Lord! I have received so many calls from people from all over the country to say thanks for the assistance that has been provided. We are so grateful that the Lord could use us to touch so many lives. So many of you have helped us continue to make a difference. You have been determined to help us touch as many lives as possible. I can’t wait for the day when we meet our Savior! I believe in that we will hear words similar to what songwriter Ray Boltz wrote: “Thank you for giving to the Lord! I am a life that was changed.”

“We’ve been using the Sawyer Point One filter with our Haiti Water Relief teams. Of the 31 people who’ve worked in the earthquake relief and used the Point One filter….none have gotten sick.” Bob Browning, EDGE OUTREACH
, 
I was so burdened for many years in my mission work when I saw the horrible water sources people were using overseas. I tried drilling bore holes (wells), but they were so expensive (nearly $10,000 each), and we were not guaranteed that the water would even be safe water once we made this investment. I also tried using chemicals to make the drinking water safer, but that was impractical, for they would need a regular supply they could not afford. In July 2007, after such a visit to Kenya, I came home determined to find a better solution. After researching I discovered the biosand filter and immediately began to implement biosand filter projects.
I recently discovered the Sawyer filter, too, so I am now using both technologies to provide safe drinking water to poor folks in Kenya, Rwanda, India, Peru, Pakistan, and D.R. Congo—Over 300 Sawyer filters, in 12 different projects in 18 months! Additionally, we have sent hundreds of filters to Haiti to provide clean water to the earthquake victims.
The simplicity (no work involved) and effectiveness as compared to the biosand filter makes the Sawyer filter more attractive to use for our safe water projects.
Everywhere we have used the Sawyer filter, we are getting very good results concerning the improved health of the people using them. The simplicity, safe water results, easy operation, and low maintenance of the Sawyer filter are tremendous benefits of this technology.
