Earthquake: 01/19/10
Update from Dr. Campbell in Port-Au-Prince:
Broken bodies continue to pour in as people learn we are here……broken bodies, broken lives fill the halls and wings, never stopping. Desperately all those here try to stop the infection that covers every open fracture, every rotting wound. The smell of gangrene fills me this night as I think of the faces of those I have seen this day.
Earthquake: 01/18/10
Update from Dr. Campbell in Port-Au-Prince:
Driving through the crumbling city, buildings and streets destroyed. People everywhere walking with faces that speak of a horror I cannot imagine-exhausted, nothing left. Yet on the corner a man sold sugarcane, and a few were beginning to walk around in the safety of daylight hours…we are at Kings Hospital in PAP–Jeanne,Dr. David
Hopper and myself.
Earthquake: 01/17/10
Update from Dr. Campbell in Port-Au-Prince:
Noise. Noise surrounding me, entering into every pore; dust flying, wind whipping my hair. People scrambling as planes fly in and out, rapidly unloading as they must leave so another can land.

VPI has sent Dr. Sylvia Campbell and Jeannie Gres (CNRA) to Haiti following the earthquake where they are currently serving by performing surgeries at the King’s Hospital north of Port-Au-Prince. We appreciate your prayers for them. We anticipate their return in approximately ten days.
Earthquake: Mombin Crochu Hospital Update
VPI has received word that the hospital in Mombin Crochu is standing and the people in the village are ok. We will keep people posted as to what we learn.

MFI was not able to come in today. They are just north of Haiti in Provo. They will try again tomorrow. All our
families are still here.
The airport is a zoo. I hope they let civilian traffic in soon. Right now it is just military and official relief people. The ramp was full of planes today and I could always see 3 or 4 on final making circles waiting to land. News media is taking up quite a bit of space too.

Dear Friends and Family,
