Haiti Projects Post Earthquake

The Family Planning Clinic that St. Anthony’s works with in Fond des Blancs, Haiti was not directly affected by the earthquake on January 12, 2010.  However, the area has been indirectly affected by the close of commerce; nothing is going in or out of the area currently. Moreover, many relatives of people living in Fond des Blancs were injured, and some were killed. Sarah Hackett was evacuated from Fond des Blancs by Partners in Health shortly after the earthquake to ensure her safety.  She is planning on returning soon.  Our prayers go out to the people of Haiti.
