Medor Airstrip
AFH President Rymann Winter just returned to the US from a 10 day trip with RAM to survey a potential airstrip for the village of Medor. This community of 40,000 people are 6 hours hike through the mountains from the nearest road, and live without running water, electricity, or sanitation. RAM plans to airdrop volunteers to build the airstrip shortly, and we’ll have images up when they do.
The trip was also an opportunity to visit the Hospital in St. Marc. Sadly the hospital was inundated with patients suffering from Cholera, a water-borne illness that spreads rapidly. The hospital director expressed a need for air transport for both patients and medical staff between St. Marc and Port-au-Prince. We will be making an announcement soon on how AFH plans to help address this critical need.
