Days have turned to weeks and weeks have turned to months; and all the while, Haiti still struggles to come to grips with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. Poor sanitation, which was the bane of our existence before the quake, has become even more unmanageable and threatens to take even more lives via malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid. To put it simply, Haiti needs a lot of help.

The need for medical volunteers will continue, but QCS is not positioned to continue housing teams after the end of May.  Right now the last day we can accept teams is May 14, and all teams must transition out by the end of May.  We need to stick to this time table in order for classrooms to be put into shape for the 275+ students that we are expecting – and it will take a tremendous effort to get our school back in shape – rebuilding the libraries and redoing the computer lab will take a significant amount of time.  The best way that QCS will be involved in the rebuilding of Haiti is for us to focus on being the best Christ-centered school that we can be, serving the children of missionaries, pastors, relief workers and others.

But our relief efforts will continue as well, through raising funds to rebuild houses for our employees and helping rebuild clinics and various other projects that our school will take on.  As far as housing, we will be glad to research options and to facilitate finding rooms.

Blessings!
