Assessment Team To Haiti
MONTESANO, WA – February 18, 2010 – Haiti ARISE Ministries (HAM) announced today that an Earthquake Disaster Assessment Team departs for Haiti this Sunday. The team is comprised of experts in various fields who will assess the ministry campus, as well as the surrounding community, to formulate a detailed plan for disaster response and rebuilding. Haiti ARISE is a non-profit humanitarian organization, which operates primarily in Grand Goave, to the southwest of Port-au-Prince, near the epicenter of the January 12th 7.3 magnitude quake.
Marc Honorat, a former child slave, who founded the organization with his wife Lisa in 2001, returned to Haiti last week in anticipation of the assessment team visit. Mr. Honorat was evacuated from Haiti with a visiting mission team shortly after the earthquake. “Marc was anxious to return to help our staff there,” stated Mrs. Honorat. “They have been working hard to distribute food, water and shelter but there is so much work yet to be done. The rainy season begins this month and nearly 80% of our community is displaced. Our goal is to produce a comprehensive assessment report to guide us as we move forward. Since the earthquake we have had innumerable offers of help and we feel that this assessment is essential to best utilize the volunteer power and resources.”
Haiti ARISE outlined the expected outcome of the assessment as follows:
Assess situation on the ground; determine access to supplies; determine safety and logistics for volunteers
- Determine the project scope; ability to deliver based on resources; prepare priorities and budgets.
- Assess suitability of buildings for repairs, demolition and new construction.
- Assess quality and delivery of water systems.
- Assess the immediate medical needs and feasibility of a medical facility.
- Assess communication and IT needs.
- Provide report and recommendations to Haiti ARISE.

Sea of Blue
I finally had an opportunity to talk to Marc in Haiti where he has been for a week now. Email communication is still difficult, as our satellite was damaged and our secretary’s computer was destroyed in the quake. She has had to transfer everything over to another computer with which she is not familiar. This means setting up email and our accounting system again. This is something that I would usually help her with if I were there so she is having to figure out some things as she goes.
Marc said that aftershocks are still happening and people are still not staying in their homes. Marc is also staying with about 15 others in an open shelter area on the campus. He has been very busy traveling around town, helping set up shelter tents for people who have lost their homes. He is also helping to set up water systems with Samaritan’s Purse.
“There is a sea of blue tarps everywhere, throughout the whole countryside,” he told me, referring to the tarps brought in by SP. Now the worries are the rains. They have started to come. I heard word from Lifeline yesterday that heavy rains came down, filling up people’s tents. They tried to seal in the bottoms with rock and some kind of embankment around their tents. The assessment team is getting ready to head off and I wish that I could go. I am longing to see the faces of or friends, greet them with friendly kisses and hear their stories of resilience through yet another disaster.
