cat_notes: 3/3/10 LTel: Hey Laura, check out what I found at the Caribbean American Shipping Express - http://www.shipcasco.com/testimonials.html - There are a lot of Haiti references that appear to be medically related on that site. May be a source for you.
Based on the below letter, it appears this is both a church and clinic. You had it listed as a church, so for now, I just added "Clinic".
"Dear Tony,
I want to give you a big thank you for your personal involvement in getting our medical supplies on their way to Petit Bourg du Borgne Haiti by way of Cap Haitian airport.
My wife Carolyn and I both deeply appreciate your kind service in seeing that all our supplies arrive in Haiti in plenty of time for our 2-29-08 medical team. We also appreciate that you have spent considerable time in Haiti and are very familiar with the people, the terrain and the always interesting and changing "rules of the customs officers."
As president of the Board of Visitation Hospital (Petite Riviere de Nippes, Haiti) and deeply involved in the Catholic Parish Twinning Program of the Americas (throughout Haiti) I learned of your company. I can now honestly tell all our 62 medical teams in Haiti and the medical staff at Visitation Hospital what a true joy it has been to work with you and your wonderful company.
Last night we had our "Haiti meeting" for the team that is going to use the medical supplies you shipped for us today. They were thrilled to hear how great you all were to work with and very appreciative of an American company so committed to customer service!!!!
I did send an email updating our priest Father Keith Louidor to be expecting the items by plane today. Hopefully he can get there soon to take charge of the boxes. He will probably contact the CASCO office in Cap Haitian and his Bishop's office if he has any problems clearing customs.
Once again thank you so much for taking all the time to help us with the shipment of these important and much needed medical supplies to Haiti!!!"
