Anse-a-Pitres, HAITI. – As part of its continuing disaster relief intervention in Haiti, the Batey Relief Alliance (BRA) is dispatching on March 27th a team of 20 dental and medical specialists from the United States to far-reached earthquake-affected border commune of Anse-a-Pitres to deliver much needed dental and medical care to children and their families living in impoverished conditions.
The week-long intervention is designed for American and Haitian volunteers to travel to Haiti’s inaccessible communities to evaluate and treat general health and dental conditions of people who are completely isolated from medical services and international aid.
Since the 7.0-magnitude powerful earthquake hard hit Haiti on January 12th, killing more than 250,000, BRA responded swiftly by sponsoring medical mission trips and coordinating the donations of millions of dollars-worth of medicine and medical supplies. More missions are scheduled to deliver more urgent medical services and antibiotics, as well as eye care and prescription eye glasses to Haitians living in Haiti’s Southeast Department border region and those who have crossed the border into the Dominican Republic seeking emergency medical assistance.
