Saturday, Mr. Michel Chancy, special Secretary of State in charge of the distribution of the food aid, contacted the Scouts of Haiti to ask for their help in the national effort. The coordinators of the crisis cell of the National Association of the Scouts of Haiti (NASH) immediately met with the person in charge of this distribution in order to plan their support contribution. Scouts will reinforce teams in each municipality and will participate in the transportation of food stuffs. In each concerned community, a contingent of three ministerial delegates establish relations with the city hall and identify the needs of the area, accommodation sites and also establish the figures assessment that the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) requires. The townships concerned for the moment are Port-au-Prince, Tabarre, Cité Soleil, Carrefour, Pétionville, Delmas, Léogane, Petit Goave. To accomplish their mission the Scouts have a list of vehicle owners that are willing to put them at their disposal at any given time.

Moreover, on Saturday a truck sent by the Dominican Scouts and a convoy of four vehicles of the Haitian Scouts were able to link up at the border. Thanks to the solidarity of the Dominicans the NASH has gotten 2500 bottles of water, 1000 canned foods, and 500 milk packs, which will allow the nourishment of the volunteer teams. The President of the Dominican Scouts and the Deputy General Commissioner of the Scouts of Haiti also met during this occasion.

Upon returning from the North, Nicolas Clervil, General Commissioner, indicated that the Scouts have been very present as moral support for the refugees who are finding themselves far from their places of origin.
