> Dear Friends,
> Delamy called this evening twice to give us an
> update. He talked to Pastor Borgelain and M. Joslien (a good
> friend from Gonaives). As many of you know Delamy has been in
> Florida with his family, planning to return to Haiti 8/27, and now
> after 2 cancelled planes, is scheduled to return this Friday, 9/5.
> Please excuse my use of ‘bullets’ to cover everything he shared.
> · The flooding is ‘everywhere, everywhere’ … from Saint
> Marc, across the Artobonite Valley through Gonaives, and all the
> villages north of Gonaives: Terre Blanche, Dubedou, Finel, Mapou –
> there is no way to get there to help.
> · Although the rains have stopped, the North is completely
> cut off from the rest of the country. There is no road into this
> part of Haiti.
> · President Preval tried to go by car, but it is
> impossible. …. The Lake that formed after the 2004 flood has
> returned and it is even worse due to the partially built bridge
> over this area. It is impassable. Several other lakes have
> formed in the Artobonite Valley.
> · Part of the wall around Delamy’s home in Gonaives has
> collapsed.
> · Pastor Borgelain reported that the clinic is OK, but the
> village of Terre Blanche is in desperate condition. Most of the
> homes along the road into TB have collapsed. No one knows about
> the homes near the river.
> · Pastor Borgelain and Ti-Renney tried to go to the home of
> Francise to save her, but almost died while trying to get to her.
> Later she was brought to the area of Norther Gonaives called
> Gatro. She is safe at the moment.
> · The area of Gonaives where M. Herold and Mme. Julberte
> live is destroyed and they have probably lost all.
> · The small bridge about a mile from the turn off to TB has
> collapsed. This is the one where marchans sold mangoes and 2
> rivers met at this point.
> · Needless to say, there is no food available and the safe
> water is almost gone. Most homes in TB are destroyed. The books
> and uniforms for the new school year were distributed before Delamy
> left for Haiti and now they are probably destroyed.
> Please join us in prayer….
