Some days things happen so suddenly. It catches you by surprise over here.
All of a sudden some things fell into place yesterday. One of our guys that had his passport and suitcase stolen finally got his passport back. Six containers that have been sitting on the docks for weeks while we've been dealing with customs etc were released. First aid training for camp residents that we've been trying to organise has come together and starts today. Some information on people's intentions to relocate away from the camps suddenly came together. We even think we may have found more appropriate accommodation for our own team.
And... I think that I've almost got a deal with Nike to sponsor a screening of world cup matches in our camp.
We finished the day with a great meal at a local hotel courtesy of Georgia Tech University. They are studying the use of technology in humanitarian relief. We were able to speak about our UPS trackins system for registering IDP's and doing distributions. We also were able to speak about the way that population movements can be tracked in Haiti using mobile phones.
A good night. A good end to a good day.
What an amazing day, that must feel so fulfilling, well done for your efforts. I am reminded of the greatness and faithfulness of God to bring about that which is beneficial to His people, and in this I praise Him for what He has accomplished in your part of the world today!
