Quisqueya News: Friday, January 22
The Quisqueya campus has become a hive of activity. Our buildings are undamaged and cleared for use by both civilian and military structural engineers, so it is our desire to use this campus to bless the Haitian people. Here’s the latest:
Director Steve Hersey and the rest of our administrative team are now officing in the Elementary Library. We are looking forward to our Parent Meeting on Monday, January 25 at 9:00 am in the Elementary Building. Please enter at the Upper Gate.
We will be happy to accommodate your requests for transcripts, report cards, and any needed transfer paperwork. Please contact Mirna Beneche at mbeneche@quisqueya.org with your requests. We would love to account for every student and hear your family’s future education plans, so please be in touch with us at communication@quisqueya.org.
The Quisqueya Christian School Relief Coordination Center has hit the ground running. A collaboration between our school and Crisis Response International has received over a dozen mission teams from locations including Germany, Korea, Mississippi, Texas, and the Dominican Republic with more arriving each day. The Relief Coordination Center is collecting information on the needs of area hospitals and is deploying medical teams, water purification teams, engineers, and donated medical supplies to where they are most needed.
Our campus is also continuing to house the families of our Haitian staff whose homes were destroyed in the earthquake. In addition, Quisqueya has formed a partnership with the US Army whereby the Army is using some parts of our campus for command and control of their local operations.
Lastly, Steve Hersey recommends the following helpful articles on how to help children cope with the earthquake and its aftermath.
