The efforts continues
Productive day today. Randy and I flew critical medical supplies from Ft. Lauderdale at 7:30 this morning. We were greeted by smooth air and Bahamian sunshine on the way to Cap Haitien, Haiti. We dropped off the supplies in an orderly airport there and continued over to Santiago, Dominican Republic, where we hooked up with a large warehouse full of supplies. The outpouring of support from all over the world has been encouraging. After a false start transporting a group of doctors who couldn't make it through customs, Randy and I loaded the plane with 1,200 lbs of food supplies and transported it directly to the Haitian people in the countryside. We have met so many people dedicated to delivering goods. One pilot has done four runs a day for five days straight with 2,500 lbs of food supplies per run. The doctors we have transported have performed forty surgeries a day, with tons of amputations due to late treatment of broken bones. Plus, plenty of Haitiens are trying to get out and we have flown several out of the country. Tomorrow, Adams Miller is joining us to load and unload the plane and view the situation himself. Wish him luck!
