15 days to go...

Like helping a team from the NRC “The Norwegian Refugee Council” this is an independent, humanitarian non-governmental organization which provides assistance, protection and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide.

And then there is the team of cooks. I have been rather busy with these people when they came over to Santa Domingo. They could not find the material they sent over using DHL. I tracked down the materials in a warehouse of DHL, made sure they were able to clear it and hired a truck to bring it over to where they were staying.

They also shipped their own kitchen to Santo Domingo. This is an army kitchen with nine stoves on which you can cook for 10.000 people each day. This one was lost in the airport as well. I was able to track it down for them in the warehouse, but unfortunately the truck which was sent over was too small and I needed to order a new one. The freight arrived too late at the airport and now it needs to fly tomorrow. After waiting for a security clearance for almost tree weeks today the cooks are finally going into Haiti. The kitchen will follow tomorrow.
