OMS International Haiti Emergency Appeal - Yarra Gives By: OMS International - Australia Inc

What is this appeal for?

1. Earthquake Relief for Body & Soul #407840

   - Providing emergency supplies, mobilizing experts and broadcasting.

   Providing emergency supplies - the first truck was packed up and sent from Cap Haitien to Port-au-Prince this morning, carrying medical supplies, food and water for people affected in Carrefour/Bizotan, as well as building materials to repair minor damage at the OMS Villa so that this can be used as a base for our emergency response.

   Mobilizing experts to help - we've already appealed through Men for Missions for surgeons, orthopaedic specialists and ER doctors to provide medical help to thousands in desperate need.

2. 4VEH Broadcast Hope #469960

   - Purchasing fuel to run generators to keep Radio 4VEH on the air, ministering across the airwaves to a grieving nation. We need fuel to be able to power the radio station and the transmitters to send the signal across Haiti. Fuel is becoming scarce and, when we can find it, more expensive. Help keep the radio station on the air.

   Broadcasting Hope - since the earthquake hit, Radio 4VEH has been ministering to a traumatized and grieving nation, providing news and public announcements, commentary and music to inform, comfort and encourage. Our AM radio signal reaches further than any other radio station in Haiti; no radio stations in Port-au-Prince are currently broadcasting to people in rural areas, so we're connecting people across the country with news and messages like this one:

   We're in Port-au-Prince... our family lives at St-Louis du Nord, Haiti... To our parents Mr and Mme Elisee Leger or everyone listening to Radio 4VEH in St Louis... we want to say we're alive... our names are Wandel Leger and Loubert Leger.

   Thanks to a partnership with Trans World Radio, Radio 4VEH is now reaching listeners in Port-au-Prince between 10:15pm and 2:00am. Praise God for this opportunity to minister directly to people in the worst-affected areas.
