ShelterBox formed a partnership with Sean Penn’s camp, although I am not sure how many boxes/tents were received there.   Most likely many of the people that Frank McKinney saw in the streets of Port Au Prince just after the quake ended up at this camp.

We did not see Sean Penn in Haiti, but we met all his people and walked through the big tent that the Doctors were staying in.   This refugee camp is very organized and is located on edge of Port Au Prince.

ShelterBox Head of Operations, John Leach said: ‘We are continuing to spread our net beyond Port au Prince .  A newly arrived two man team comprising of Greg Rogers (UK) and Tom Newman (UK) headed south to Jacmel.  They’ve wasted no time in assessing needs and setting up the first camps. Tom, who is on his first deployment, has been doing a great job in running logistics from Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and now has his chance to get out in the field.’

Response Team member Lasse Petersen said: ‘We agreed with the local community that the initial tent allocation would be for families with pregnant women and families with newborns.

‘Port au Prince is overflowing with encampments of people sleeping out without basic shelter. The demand remains enormous, but with the help of our donors, ShelterBox has flown 5 aircraft and over 3,000 ShelterBoxes to aid those left homeless by the quake.

‘In the hospitals, orphanages and local communities we are making a difference and thousands of more boxes are en route.’
