The staff was contacted by text today to inform them to meet with Geoff at Petion-Ville, close to Delmas 75. He is traveling with a companion he met in Dominic Republic named Osvald. Yesterday, I informed Geoff that he will need to bring even more food then what we had purchased here and more supplies. I gave him a list of supplies that we need. In one to two hours he will arrive by bus, Caribbe 2 station in Petion-Ville and from there they will walk to the destruction, devestation and rubble to the office which is now collapsed from the 7.0 earth quake that shook Haiti .
As soon as Geoff arrives , they will seek a safe haven to lodge, then after resting begin searching efforts to find the missing partners. I will be awaiting for any messages or report to give everyone at People In Need Partnership, family and friends. I have also made and submitted a report to CNN, and they have added all the missing partners to the list of missing people in Haiti. As soon as I have news I will report them to everyone.
I will be joining them in one or two weeks to help in locating the missing partners and bringing more needed supplies. I urge you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and to light a white candle or form a group candle walk for all of our partners and staff at this time.
In my conversation with Cajuste yesterday, I heard the terror in his voice, all of our staff is disoriented and in extreme trauma but still remaining strong to find the partners and keep People in Need ever strong. I urge the same for all.

" I will be in Jimeni tomorrow at 1pm maybe." - Geoff
"Geoff . Keep me posted at all times. Write in your journal when you can not text me. Please travel with someone. Let me know all the details. Keep strong, be careful and carry our light with you." - Jennifer
" I am traveling with Osvald. He might have a way to get to Delmas. Let Cajuste know I will be at Petion- Ville."- Geoff
" I contacted The staff. Cajuste and Marcel will meet you at Petion- Ville, be careful. I must warn you there will be many many people begging for your supplies. Point to the aid that has arrived. Do not walk alone anywhere. Walk only with some others."- Jennifer
Afew hours later:
"We are close to the border. It will be a few hours before PAP." - Geofff (PAP-port au Prince)

My phone has become the base of communication for Haiti, the staff and for Geoff. I am urging everyone to please not call me
but to send me emails. It is very difficult right now for me to use the phone except for communication through our staff in Haiti.
I will keep updates regularly. It might be easier to book mark my page and that will be easier for everyone to get the news on their
partners as well as , our staff.
Please continue to pray and keep all of the partners, people in Haiti and our staff in your prayers.
Thank you.
Head Coordinator For People in Need Partnership.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Johnson
