In 2007 we established a Jeep Fund to raise money to buy a new Toyota 4-wheel drive jeep. These jeeps are the best vehicles for the rough terrain we routinely drive on in going up the mountain to our clinic site from the town of Jérémie. This jeep will be used for the following purposes: -Transport staff from Jérémie to the clinic site in Gatineau and back -Transport patients from our clinic to the government hospital in Jérémie for those in need of hospitalization -Transport to the clinic of patients from communities around the clinic site, when they are too ill or weak to walk -Transport of staff and visitors to other rural clinics where we occasionally offer medical expertise and assistance
In August 2009, we received a grant of $42,000 from the F.I.S.H. Foundation to complete funding for this new jeep. We are grateful, not only to the F.I.S.H. Foundation, but to all the individuals who contributed to this fund. The jeep has been ordered and will be shipped to Haiti from Japan. Check back for updates!
