Nødhjælp til Haiti

Haitians rummage through a school in the slum of Cité Soleil, near Port-au-Prince, collapsed by a violent earthquake that struck the area on 12 January.   Children eat a meal which was distributed by Bolivian UN peacekeepers in Cite Soleil.   A boy eats his meal as he watches a long line of Port-au-Prince residents waiting to receive water from the local fire department. Haiti's capital was left ravaged, and with few resources, after a powerful earthquake struck on 12 January

   
Jordskælvet i Haiti, den 12. januar 2010 dansk tid, kunne på rictherskalaen måles til 7.0 - det værste jordskælv i 200 årAn aerial view of Port-au-Prince's downtown area demonstrates the extent of damage inflicted by the powerful earthquake that hit the Haitian capital on 12 January.

Mellem tre og fem millioner mennesker anslås at være påvirket af jordskælvet. Der meldes om omfattende ødelæggelser og sammenstyrtede bygninger, blandt dem hospitaler, skoler og regeringskontorer.
Det frygtes at mange hundrede tusinde mennesker er omkommet.

Dear President Nadége B Jaques, dear Elisabeth Woolley,
Dear Soroptimists in Haiti, 
It is with deep sorrow,
that we all follow the reports in the media about the earthquake, that killed and injured so many people and destroyed so many buildings in your city.
On behalf of Soroptimist International I share Anusha’s prayers for the wellbeing of the members in your club and of your families. Please give our warm thoughts and love to the members, when it is possible for your to get in contact, as we understand that the infra structure is more or less broken down.
We hope and expect that the international society and humanitarian organizations will give you and the citizens in Port-au-Prince a first help and support to the injured and the homeless.
Please receive once again our deepest sympathy and our best wishes, that you, your city and its citizens will be able to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. 
In friendship
Hanne Jensbo
International President

Please visit SI Europe’s website to support its appeal for donations for the victims and homeless in Haiti after the earthquake. As Soroptimists we will try to support our local club in Port-au-Prince to set up activities, so that they can give assistance to their local community. I know that Soroptimists will help to rebuild lives in Haiti after this devastating catastrophe and give hope to the citizens of Port-au-Prince.

In friendship
Hanne Jensbo
International President

Dear Soroptimist Sisters,
We are deeply saddened
at the horrendous earthquake that has caused so many deaths in Haiti. We would like to extend our heart-felt sympathies to our sisters in Haiti and reassure them that we will support them throughout this disastrous ordeal. We share the grief of all those who have lost loved ones and hope for the recovery of those who have been injured. We are profoundly affected by the devastating consequences this tragedy has and will have on Haiti’s inhabitants and we will provide any assistance needed.

Dr. Eliane Lagasse
