Latest update from Ron Tilley (Team Leader)

Everything is going well. It is very warm and humid, so they are drinking a lot of water. Today was their first day out helping people and the people are very appreciative. The only problem is crowd control. They have so many people that need help and the people get upset with the ones that want to cut in line. All in all it was a good day.
Part of the group is leaving at 4:00 a.m. (their time) to go about a four hour drive to another area that needs help. (On a map--it's the area of Haiti closest to Jamaica) They will be there until Friday and then they will return to Port-au-Prince to rejoin the rest of the group.
It is very strange to go down a street with total devastation, but to find on each end of the street happy, smiling people trying to sell their wares. They are making the best of their poor situation.
