If you would like to assist or are particularly resourceful, please read below about ways you can continue to support our UMVIM trip! Below are some of the guidelines from the Haitian UMVIM hosts:
1. Teams wishing to donate medical supplies and medications should refer to the list of requested medicines and medical supplies below as developed and maintained by the EMH. Please note that prescription medications are available and should be purchased in Haiti, to support the local community and to provide instructions in the local language. Over-the-counter medications and vitamins can be brought in by teams, and will be distributed to the EMH clinics.
2. Other suggested donations include school supplies, VBS supplies and playground items (balls, jump ropes). These items may be used at the assigned site, or distributed among the churches of the EMH.
3. Teams bringing donated supplies must provide an inventory of all donated items, as well as an estimated value of those items – preferably provided by email before the team’s arrival. Inventory of medicines must include expiration dates. Staff on the ground do not have the capacity to inventory these items.
Also, we a always use things like shovels, picks, axes, sledge hammers (without the handles - heads only), construction trash bags, regular trash bags, paintbrushes, paint roller naps, and sandpaper.
