More from our staff on the ground, explaining what motivates them to go to work each day despite the situation in Haiti:
Fritznel Jean, In-Country Assistant Executive Director/Human Resources Manager/Legal Liaison/Archivist:
“For myself even I am not a medical professional and I am not working directly in ground with the patient in the communities. But as a leader and head of the organization in country, it is an obligation for me to accompany our employees to give them strength. Secondly, is to show respect to all the Board members and donors that sacrifice 
themselves to support my people. While they are making all those efforts, I would be guilty to stand with hands folded, seeing my brothers and sisters dying because of lack of healthcare. Sure, it is dangerous and insecure for everyone in Haiti, including our employees, but the situation would be worse if we abandoned communities in the countryside — if no one heard their voices because the shortage of the gas. To go to work despite the situation in Haiti, you have to have a good heart and love others: I consider all the employees at HUFH as bon samaritan.”
