Thank you for your continued prayers and support for the people of Haiti. We learned from Grace Children’s Hospital staff this week that at least one aftershock measuring 4.0 was felt in Haiti on Monday, May 3. The aftershock caused further damage at Grace Children’s Hospital, and the administration building (already slated for demolition) was completely destroyed.

ICC has established a Relief and Reconstruction office in Haiti, and you can read their updates here.

International Child Care has t-shirts available with the Grace Children’s Hospital logo on the front and the phrase “Ayiti Leve Kanpe” on the back, which means “Haiti Get Back Up.” The shirts are available in Adult sizes S-XL for $15.00, and XXL for $20.00. Shipping and handling is $5.00.

Sunday, April 25 has been designated World Malaria Day by the World Health Organization. More than half the world is at risk of contracting Malaria, and the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic are among those vulnerable.

In the outpouring of support that ICC received in the days and weeks after the January 12 earthquake that struck Haiti, there were many, many offers of help from around the world, and practical aid and assistance flowed into the country at unprecedented rates. This assistance saved lives, and continues to help sustain the people of Haiti as the government works to recover from the earthquake.

During recent trips to Haiti, ICC USA's national director, as well as some of our board members, were able to take video footage of some of the patients at Grace Children's Hospital, as well as the other devastation in Haiti. We encourage you to view the videos and share the links with others interested in our work!

Dominique Pierre is 65 years old. He came to an ICC mobile eye clinic for diagnosis and treatment. ICC medical workers treated him with donated antibiotic drops, potentially saving his eyesight, and allowing Mr. Pierre to return to his family, which includes six children.
