Finally - Adrien (one of the Rennwish folks in Haiti) was able to grab an internet connection... His area has no phones (and since my Haiti number is tied to that same area - I have no phone into Haiti...)... So - here are snippets of his long e-mail - but, in short - all our kids are OK..!!! Thank you - thank you... Thank you.... OK - I'll share my thoughts I sent to him when he has a chance to reply about what we need to do to assist those in Haiti...
Thank you all who posted in thies read, or read this thread, or have supported Rennwish...
"Dear Brother
How are you doing? By our side we are fine but yesterday in Haiti we had an earthquake by 5 pm and it lasted for 1 minute , it did not make a lot of damage in les Cayes but in port-au-prince it broke a lot of buildings, a lot of people die. People that leave in les Cayes are victim because they have their family leave at port-au-price.
Now in Haiti there are a lot people crying for their close family they are lose and until now we don’t know the number of death and Injured people we have. They searchers and the investigators keep seeking for the death and injured people.
The mothers and the children are doing okay but there is one of the mother’s has a cousin died in Port –au-prince at that event.
We have many relatives and friends in Port-au-prince so, We don’t know how many victims we have because we don’t have any way to communicate, phone does not work.
In our area, there are some wall of some houses that failed down.
There are some deaths in les cayes and a lot of injured people in hospital in les cayes and there is not enough bed for them.
It is a very sad situation for Haiti.
I love you my brother.
Your brother,
Adrien"

John I am So Glad to hear that the kids and their families are safe and the schools too. So sad to hear about all the death and destruction in P-A-P. Don't all the food and supplies needed in Les Cayes come through P-A-P? What happens when it runs out? Shudder.......
Definitely getting another fund raiser together as we 'talked' about this morning. When all the initial contributions that are flooding in now (as the should be) stop pouring in (as usually happens after news of a disaster dies down), the will STILL need so much more help. That is when our fund raiser will come into play. We'll talk about it more later.

Email from the President of Executive Airlines
Just received this one....
Peter-
I just landed in SJU.
Summary
We landed in Haiti at 12N after getting the proper ATC clearance from Haiti and San Juan.
Airport is currently restricted to humanitarian flights.
We landed with 10,000 lbs of food and water.
We were the first US airline arriving Haiti with a Humanitarian flight.
We have approx 90 AA Employees in Haiti, so far many unaccounted.
While AA unloaded our flight, we were giving food and water to all airport employees, security, customs, immigration, AA employees and also to some international press.
The airport is under control by military staff and the UN.
Security is good at the airport.
Runway is operational.
No tower, as collapsed.
ATR #2 landed PAP at 3pm with 10,000 lbs of food and supplies.
ATR #3 should be landing PAP at 4pm with 10,000 lbs of food and supplies.
What is saw in Port-Au-Prince today is unexplainable. The city is destroyed. I will not be surprised if between 50K and 100K are dead.

So far there is speculation that there may be over 500,000 dead in Port-Au-Prince. 
If those figures are accurate, that is just unreal....

John,
would it help for us to donate now to Rennwish or wait until we know what you need?
I think it'd be hard for us to get items in since the airport is restricted and I doubt mailed items would get thru...
we just need for you to give us direction

I heard on the news that the US Navy is supposed to be moving a hospital ship off shore in the coming days.
Also, the biggest problem for the remaining hospitals is obtaining diesel to run the backup generators.
My daughter is currently in Jamaica with 30 volunteer nursing students, professors and doctors, so perhaps she will hear something soon.

I don't believe in prayer to help people. I believe in action. I just sent a donation to Rennwish. John will make sure it goes to the right place.
