AUSJ plans third mission to Haiti



Starting to plan the latest mission to Haiti with Jarret Lovell in November. Jarret has been a real friend for AUSJ publicizing the non-profit on his radio station and announcing our events. Jarret is a professor of Criminal Justice at CSU and will be helping me to locate enslaved children in Haiti and then placing them in safe shelters in Port au Prince. We will be bringing in teddy bears and medical supplies again to be distributed to those children and clinics who need them the most. CNN did several news segments on the 6 month anniversary of the earthquake and continued to echo everyone's sentiments about the money and relief supplies never getting to the people who need them the most. To quote Sanjay Gupta "Success in Haiti is not measured by getting money and supplies to Haiti, but is measured by getting them to the people who need them." There's a difference. Sean Penn, who has remained in Haiti, said the same thing. That is why AUSJ goes there - so we know our supplies have gotten into the right hands. Please help us with a donation so that we are able to help more people in camps and those enslaved.
