By Miriam Tuchman | President, Sustainable Healthcare for Haiti
Dear Friends,
Since January, when our year-end fundraiser concluded, we have been working hard. It is behind the scenes work which rarely provides good images or relatable stories to post but, none the less, is real progress.
Our design team which includes architects, engineers, landscape architects, signage and graphic designers, construction managers and sustainable design consultants has been developing the details of Phase 1 of the Sho-Ping Chin Clinic for Healthcare and Education. The design has advanced enough for a general contractor in Haiti to provide us with real-time pricing and schedules which we will report on in our next quarterly report.
We have also been working to lay out the healthcare delivery plans and goals for the next year for the children. And we have found an IT consultant group who works for several non-profits in Haiti. They will help us develop a program that allows us to track data and adjust our healthcare program in accordance with both the children's needs and our goals of changing how the children perceive their right to healthcare.
Other Board Members have been working to raise money via on-line campaigns such running marathons, providing professional services pro-bono in exchange for donations, raffling off vacation home stays and donating percentages of income from on-line sales of Haitian imported products. Also, we are finally at the stage in which we can compile and present grant proposals for the program to allow us to operate in the children's interest for many years to come.
As always, we are extremely grateful for your support and look forward to reporting on exciting events in the coming months.
