Resettlement and news from Ferrier

Jackson Nelson and the WHR-Haiti well crew will travel to the Dominican Republic tomorrow to purchase parts and supplies for the well-drilling rig. I have been in discussion with various organizations regarding using WHR-Haiti's services in the earthquake-affected zone. At this point it appears there's not an urgent need for water wells. In a month or so, there will likely be more need, especially in some of the outlying communities where former Port-au-Prince residents have relocated.

The Ferrier community has welcomed its share of returnees. Some 160 individuals have resettled in the area, and Pastor Zenas Pierre is traveling to Port-au-Prince at the time of this writing in order to facilitate the return of more people. WHR-Haiti is providing financial support to those who have resettled in Ferrier, and we have wired funds to help with this effort.
