Shonta with Explorers Sans Frontieres (ESF) has team on the ground who would like to go into the prisons and do cholera education and give supplies. She is inquiring for another NGO interested in supporting this initiative. She knows that PIH is going into prison in St. Marc but would like to check on prisons elsewhere. She is requesting contact information for prisons in the bigger towns like PAP, Les Cayes, Jeremie, Gonaives, Cap Haitian. Please send information to her directly at shontadcollins @aol.com.

2010 Cholera Outbreak -
http://explorerssf.org/2010/10/25/cholera-crisis-in-haiti/

ESF has been working with other NGO’s, large and small to respond to the crisis in Haiti. ESF is on a reliable listerv hosted by health care professionals of all disciplines providing minute by minute updates on the ongoing changes regarding the epidemic.

ESF is partnering with “Project CONCERN“, “World Cares Center“, “MSPP“, “Americares“, and local clinics to obtain and distribute re-hydration salts, nutritional supplements and vitamins, water filtering tablets, and educational material to aid the public at large.

We are also collaborating to do the following:

■Preventing mass panic by providing factual, evidence-based information;
■Provide educational town hall meetings at ESF camp, clinic, and orphanage;
■Receive the letter of authorization to work in Haiti under MSPP, which provides ESF access to medicine through PROMESS;
Our goals are being accomplished:

■Public health education and distribution of literature provided by World Cares Center;
■Partnering with Project CONCERN and Americares to provide public health advocacy and rehydration salts; and
■Retention of ESF Public Health and Child Safety Advocates in Haiti responsible for program implementation and management of children and public health centers.

There are many ways that you can help ESF help others so please feel free to contact if want to learn more ways to be a global citizen!
