Day 5

Update:

All our volunteers cleaned and sanitized the center designated for all the food storage and supplies. We then did another run together with the Marechausee to Le Grand Marché, which enabled us to then deliver food to the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation as well as the St. Maarten Medical Center, which we found had run out of food and water.

As promised, we revisited the New Start Foster Home, bringing with us Suzy and Dina from the Ministry of Health to get them the medication that they needed. We were able to deliver fresh food and supplies for the children and spend some time playing and chatting with them.

We ended the day by bringing additional food to the main shelter and then met with Community Development about the possibility of opening additional shelters the next day. From there we checked in again with the fire department to make ourselves available and notify them that we had volunteers willing to assist if they still needed help with search and rescue.
