Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I am so thrilled to bring you the following update from Kerline Tofuri,
Hanover’s connection to the earthquake in Haiti. Godspeed, Kerline.
I leave for Haiti today with the Partners In Development Assessment Team. We
are flying out to the Dominican Republic, and from there to Haiti. After
this assessment, the medical teams will start to go to Haiti and will be
working in 3 or 4 different locations. Each medical team will take suitcases
of the medical supplies we have collected .
I would like to express my gratitude to all who had reached out by
calling/emailing as they continue to pray for my family and the people of
Haiti. Thank you to all who donated medical supplies/other necessary items
and those who made monetary donations. Thank you to all of the Hanover
children who are thinking of sending messages of hope to the children in
Haiti.
During the next two weeks, I will continue to collect medical supplies and
other items such as school supplies, clothing, toothbrushes, tents, and
French and low level English books for children. While I am away, all who
wish to donate can drop off supplies at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church,
located at 17 Church Street; office hours are 9 – 1 p.m., Monday through
Thursday.
