Our little rag-tag group works together all day at the airport - each running off to our various projects throughout the day, but meet every night and figure out the approach for the next day... We have all been asked to sit on various UN assessment groups (called clusters), so we’re dialed in to every aspect of relief. My clusters are volunteers, shelter, and reconstruction, Sarah is on displaced persons/orphans, Patrick is on clean water and the Red Cross, and Tiffany is on health/medical, logistics, and central command. It really has it's benefits running the airport - I found out some guys from my home town were doing Guerrilla Aid by flying helicopters around delivering supplies, so I called Paul (we were in French class together in High School) and said, "I need tents!" and the next day they flew in and gave me tents - THANK YOU PAUL, DUANE, NATHAN, AND JEREMY FOR YOUR HELP!  In addition to our official duties, we are also working with the local groups to coordinate a concise volunteer effort. It all started because we meet everyone coming in through the airport, and Tiffany and Sarah have been here for years so have deep local connections. Do you want to take over airport arrivals and departures? Come to Jacmel and I'll put you to work.
