In the summer of 2015, Sustainable Healthcare for Haiti lost an invaluable team member, Sho-Ping Chin. A wife, a mother, a friend, and an incredibly accomplished architect, Sho-Ping was integral in the founding of SHH and our growing community.
Sho-Ping was a leader and an extraordinary woman who was dedicated to providing healthcare and places of healing to the most vulnerable in Haiti and around the world. Sustainable Healthcare for Haiti will march on with the hopes of fulfilling her aspirations and will look forward to naming our first healthcare facility The Sho-Ping Clinic.
Team members are traveling to Haiti in January, to develop the site plan for the structure as well as coordinate the installation of an internet line (there is no internet connection at Foundation Montesinos at this time). The line will allow SHH to create a mobile hotspot for the Interactive Medical Profile to be deployed this spring by community health workers.
Additionally, the children will all be screened for asthma, and treatment will be available for those who need it, and bed nets will all be installed in the sleeping quarters.
The team is also preparing for two fundraisers in March and October with goal of having sufficient funds to complete the construction of the Sho-Ping Clinic by the end of 2016.
From everyone at SHH, we wish you a very happy 2016.
