CHOLERA OUTBREAK - DELMAS 31 Our neighborhood
has been going through a cholera outbreak this week, specifically in the Cite
Jeremie area. One of our students family was hospitalized at the Medecins Sans
Frontieres Cholera Treatment Centre and early this morning we rushed a family
member of Milo to the Cholera centre. We are reinforcing to our students cholera
prevention tactics and using a lot of bleach for cleaning everything. Several of
our students live in Cite Jeremie. We are wiping down walls, benches and tables
inside the school shelters everyday. Pray the outbreak passes. Cholera is easily
treatable but is deadly if action isn't taken quickly to prevent dehydration.
Below is a good video about cholera and Haiti:
