What is ACT Alliance doing in Haiti? February 1, 2010
ACT Video on Youtube
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — Slowly the food is moving, the clean water is running. Haitians have shelter. ACT photographer Paul Jeffrey has seen them in Jacmel, a town on Haiti's southern coast.
A tent clinic in the middle of the street, Haitian women cooking food for hundreds of homeless, boys helping to carry food for those living in the tented camp. Haitians themselves take part in the humanitarian work. The neighborhood is an important side of the Haitian society, and ACT Alliance works hand-in-hand with the homeless.
The local relief workers were also hit by the earthquake. One ACT field worker says: "I am not afraid any more. I have survived the worst disaster in the history of Haiti and I am alive. I can survive anything now."
