Houston Haiti Relief Initiative Team and Rotary International Make a Difference in Haiti!
Evenel Osias, Hospital de Bienfaisance manager, tells about the great things that are happening in Haiti by means of scheduled meetings. As written in his own words, Evenel says,
"Missionary Hospital Bienfaisance in Pignon /Haiti
Teaching to other Hospitals scattered all over Haiti to keep updated their Hospitals Equipments.
Training of Biomedical Technicians for Repair of Equipments for Hospitals all over Haiti.
Hopital Bienfaisance in Pignon training technicians of Hospitals in Haiti from North to South and East to West.
One of the weakness of Hospitals in Haiti is to find Repair persons to keep their medical equipments working when needed.
In the past, sporadically, some helpers could show up from the States for a week to do some repairs.
Most of the time, the time is too short to finish the work and the Trainees rarely have the time to absorb the teachings.
This time, a sustainable continuous training for 3 consecutive years , with a rotation of 2 weeks every 2 months for 3 consecutive years.
This program is being initiated and given at the Hospital Bienfaisance in Pignon with the support of HHRI & Rotary International.

1- Centre de sante de St-Michel, St-Michel-Haiti, 3 people.

Vicki Brentin, a member of the HHRI Team wrote this account of their trip to Pignon!
"Sunny Sharma, Past District Governor Rotary 5890, bio medical engineer and owner of a Houston medical equipment supply and repair company, always hada vision to develop a medical equipment training program that would benefit developing world nations. Rotary Club Past President and retired Methodist minister, John Collier has a long history of supporting international service projects through Rotary and his work as President of Caring Friends. He made his first trip to Haiti in the Fall of 2009 with a water and sanitation NGO. Rotary Club Past President and retired lawyer, Vicki Brentin, spent many years working for a large international humanitarian organization and also leading Rotary world community service projects. She made her first and what she expected to be her only trip to Haiti as part of a Rotary team on January 12, 2010 - arriving 45 minutes before the earthquake. Together they have led efforts to develop and launch Haiti's first formal classroom training program to teach bio-medical equipment repair."
