105 students located, HELP Center destroyed

Out of 108 students currently enrolled in HELP, we have positively located 105, all of whom are alive and well. We had hoped to have 100% accounted for by the end of the day, but it was not to be. For the remaining three, we have sent out a general appeal on 3 Port-au-Prince radio stations.

We brought one student to an Israeli hospital which has just been set up, and our Administrator and longest standing employee, Edelyne Paul, got x-rays which revealed no break in her leg.

Additionally almost all alumni have been accounted for. So far we have been extraordinarily fortunate.

Lastly, we visited the HELP center today. I think the pictures tell the story better than I can. It is a miracle that everyone made it out alive.

My sincere thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Your generous financial support provided us with resources needed for the immediate task of locating and caring for the HELP family of students and staff. Now, we look forward to rebuilding HELP, and having HELP assist in rebuilding Haiti.
