We went to Port au Prince yesterday to deliver some food aid and some child malnutrition sachets with a chap called Steve from a charity that produces and distributes these here, we went to their depot which was next door to a school that had collapsed - it used to be 3 floors but had collapsed down to 2, I'm not sure what was in it still but it didn't smell too good. During the day we shifted nealy 3 tonnes of the stuff. Carwyn and Morgan went to deliver the food to another area of the city and we then headed back dropping more off at an orphanage. we left Cap at 4.30 in the morning and got back at 10.30pm, driving through Port au Prince was like being in the set of a film - collapsed buildings everywhere piles of rubble and squashed cars bu there were stalls all about selling things.
Today I was sent to rendezvous with the team of medical people coming in from the UK, due to a communication problem I spent 4 hours at the border waiting but they turned up so it turn out ok in the end.
Today the American surgeons were using the operating theatre and last night the first baby was born on the site so things are happening.
