We are in Port of Prince.
For ANPIL is was asked to arrange for coordination between secular and religious reality some Italian companies operating on the territory .
It principalm body of priests and his king for years, with untiring energy and courage more active in the slums 'poor of Port-au-Prince under the most' difficult.
The emergence of the earthquake has definitely marked a hardship existed for years and has increased exponentially as needed.
has acce tt ato happy to help and has offered to give a voice to people who are 24 to 24 hours in the service of the most ' poor, but unfortunately they can not get the right visibility in Italy and then fail to apply it effectively, and to obtain the adequate support they need.
These people invites Italian ate: Sister Anna, Sister Marcella, Sister Louise, Sister Franca, Crescenzo father, Noli father, father Mauro, father Joseph, and of course ANPIL AVSI.
the Italian group were joined by Brother and Sister Majorie Herman, Haitians who work with religious and Madame ANPIL Magalie Racine, head of the BIC, a lay association of Port au Prince.
The aim of the meeting was first to introduce the ambassador as many Italian companies operating
territory, in what areas (education, health, ...), by what means, and which areas of the city, in order to find a way to not only coordinate the response activities in Port au Prince, but also all necessary support activities in Italy.
Wonder Ambassador in hearing what is being done daily by all these people is surely a measure of poor, if any, information that is circulated in Italy on the Italian presence in Haiti.
difficult to describe in brief what are these wonderful people.
Sister Anna, Salesian sister, 55 years in Haiti, runs with her sisters, and are currently hosting a number of orphanages in their homes, camps, more than 7,000 people.
Sister Marcella, a Franciscan nun, working alone in one of the worst places in Port au Prince, Jeremie Wharf, a huge slum area-more than 160,000 souls near the port and the capital has grown over the landfill.
His clinic, housed in a rented accommodation, is down, but thanks to the intervention of the Italian Civil Protection, which has set up the tents, he could resume his work invaluable assistance.
Sister Louise and Sister Franca, Little Sisters of the Gospel, are very active in education. Their school, not yet declared fit for use, was promptly replaced by curtains of Civil Defence and the children were able to finally return to school.
Father Crescenzo is instead working on the health front Camillian through the hospital, the hospital certainly more 'largest and best equipped in Port au Prince.
Hospital 'has been very active since the early moments of the earthquake injured accepting and carrying out all operations and the necessary treatment.
The doctors have worked tirelessly 24 hours 24 while continuing to operate even when, unfortunately, have been completed anesthetics.
"It 's been a very tough, but we were there, from the first moment."
E 'was embarrassing see also the same as ambassador was not fully aware of the existence of so important and effective activities whose benefits reach more than 60,000 people.
All, however, have complained about the poor visibility that the Italian public opinion has given them and the staggering work of monopolization Information that has been made by some Italian foundations, also active in an absolutely marginal.
information circulating in Italy were "incorrect" about the real situation in Haiti in the early moments of the emergency.
The action of these priests and nuns, daily, important, effective, has been obscured by the arrogance of someone who has deliberately made to believe, and for reasons easy to understand, that to operate in Haiti, if only their organization or Foundation.
information drugged and conditioning but did not suppress the action of these people who silently and honesty of their work, and without the procession of actors, artists, singers and piùnehapiùnemetta who have performed and still perform miracles!!
as coordinated ANPIL would not only trying to help these people to channel their requests for help in Italy, but also ensure that humanitarian aid can reach its destination without wasting time and especially money.
"But where did the money the Italians?"
"Can anyone in applications in Italy?"
ANPIL of these questions we can not answer, even if some answers there ... would be very spontaneous.
What shocked us most is the business that has been created around the emergence of Haiti.
Thousands of € and then find that in Haiti, came the 'crumbs'.
am personally outraged to think what could be done Sister Marcella in the slum in which it operates with only one tenth of the harvest from certain foundations (according to rumors) or what it might do in his father Crescenzo Hospital.
But they are forced to jump through hoops to get some gazebo and a tent with a value not exceeding € 5,000. !
This is shameful !
"It takes just one journalist who knows how to do his job, to come to Port au Prince, so now understand how things work here!"
collect the appeal and raise!
"Only the Italian Civil Protection has given us a hand, but now the field has been completed and are shared. But this emergency is not over. "
ANPIL will try to make every possible effort to help and to" do "to help these people who actually are busy every day.
The first task will be sending three container from Italy to work ANPIL. We will send about 90 tons. Material specifically requested and that certainly will not be wasted.
We will make a list of what is necessary. We require the help of all those who want to help out.
What we can guarantee?
Only our honesty.
