Cholera Information Campaign

We distributed some flyers to the clinics of For Haiti with Love, the Lutheran Clinic in Madelin, and Haiti Hospital Appeal. The information provides step by step instructions on proper hand-washing. It also shows people how to create their own rehydration drink using water, sugar, and salt. The clinics were happy to receive the copies and will distribute to patients to help them learn how to prevent the spread of Cholera.

We also distributed some important supplies to For Haiti with Love. They received gauze, anti-biotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide, and a few containers of Silver Sulfadiazide cream we had received from Grassroots United in Port-Au-Prince. The cream is critical for the clinic in the treatment of there many burn victims.
