The volunteers of Sustainable Healthcare for Haiti will be launching the project over the next few months. In a trip planned for March, members of the team will meet with the Ministry of Health to receive documentation related to the hiring of the Community Health Worker and the Part-Time Nurse as well as receive approval for the planned design of the clinic rooms. We will also be meeting with Digicel who will be helping to develop the mobile hot-spot that will allow the tablets to connect with staff in the United States. A third meeting will be with the Board of our partner, Foundation Montesinos, to discuss in detail the health education currriculum and plan the design acitivites for the children.
The second trip, planned for April, will include volunteers who will build the clinic and greenhouse.
Additionally, we have a fundraiser planned for Thursday night, March 26th from 5 pm - 8 pm at the restaurant Social in Newton Corner. There will be a silent auction, music and other entertainment. The goal will be to raise the $15,000 needed to support the salaries of the Community Healthworker and Part-Time Nurse for one year.
