Many people have asked us about whether the children in our Child Advocacy program have been affected by cholera, as is being reported in the news. So far, thankfully, we do not have any cases. Here is an update from Dr. Jean Yves Glaud, the doctor in our medical clinic in Kafou Fey.
Thank you for thinking so much about Haiti. They only find 5 cases in Port-au-Prince but those person come from the Artibonite Department. They came to see doctors. But they put them in isolation. Up today we do not find any cases at the clinic and I don’t hear any complains from the children in our program. We keep counseling our patients as We always did it before and we’re preparing ourselves to face that situation if there are cases that come to our clinic. We need Oral Serum and other elctrolytes, antibiotics like( Chloramphenicol, tetracyclin, Doxycyclin,.. If you have contacts of person that can provide us those meds please let me know otherwise we’ll need to purchase more. Once again I don’t hear any cases among the children in our program.
There are 300,000 children living in restavek in Haiti...but not for long. We want to end this form of child slavery in our lifetimes. Join us in Standing Up for Freedom.
