Return of “Mission Haiti” Response Team
H.E.A.R.T. 9/11′s ” Mission Haiti” Response Team has returned from its first international deployment. We are proud that within days of the catastrophe, H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 was able to respond to this disaster and able to integrate with other first line response organizations, including U.S. AID (United States Agency for International Development), The U.S. Department of State (US Embassy) and established medical relief teams. As with many disaster responses, we were uplifted by our successes, but frustrated by the faces of those survivors that we could not touch. Our team distinguished itself in the family of response groups and is well positioned for future responses with the mission of secondary recovery, as the controlled demolition progresses in Haiti.
Despite their extraordinary losses, the people of Haiti are resilient. They will recover and move towards a new day of new dreams and peace. Thanks tothe financial support and backing of Jefferies & Co, as well as other contributors, H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 is poised to be a part of that recovery. We will build on the lessons and experiences learned from this mission and use these positive achievements to insure that H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 will carry out its goal of healing ourselves by providing aid to others in a disaster situation.
A special thank you must go out to the H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 President Bill Keegan and the “Mission Haiti” Team members. They dropped everything in their busy lives and left their families behind to respond to a dangerous theater of devastation, earthquake aftershocks and the inherent dangers present in a chaotic foreign land.
