Please read the following article from Associated Press about the resurgence of cholera occurring across Haiti.   The need for safe drinking water in Haiti is bigger than ever.  Virtually every day Pastor Brisenault and I receive calls and emails requesting help with this situation...mostly from churches and schools.

While EDGE has led four teams to Haiti this year we can do much more.  Continuing to make a difference in Haiti...at this time... is largely dependent on five things:

1. Having an inventory of water purifiers in Haiti
2. Funds to pay for the purifiers, tanks, batteries, tank bases, etc.
3. To a lesser extent, teams that will help install systems. 
4. Making progress on a permanent training center in Haiti
5. Longer term, a way to make EDGE Haiti self-sustaining, financially.

Please pray how we can build on EDGE's momentum so that Haitians don't suffer sickness and death from preventable waterborne disease.

Rural Haiti hit with resurgent cholera, but aid running dry

An old man with sunken cheeks is so dehydrated he must be carried down the dirt lane to a clinic where the air is thick with the odour of bleach. Minutes later, a worried father enters, carrying a two-year-old girl in a frilly white dress, her eyes sunken and unfocused.

Such scenes are once again common in Haiti where a deadly cholera epidemic that swept the country last fall has returned, fuelled by weeks of heavy  rains that have helped spread the waterborne bacteria that flourishes in the country's rivers and rice fields.

A resurgence of cholera is occuring across Haiti, where 370,000 people contracted the disease after an outbreak began in October. Health officials reported a surge of new cases in June, and aid workers worry there may be insufficient resources to cope with another massive outbreak.
