The arrangements have been made, accommodations are in place. Shelley-Ann will continue on her mission to Haiti and cross the border. The earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. After a brief stop in Port-Au-Prince, she'll be heading off to Jacmel.
Shelley-Ann is joining a group from Plan International who have been working in Haiti long before the earthquake - since 1973. Plan states, "Our experience and long-term presence in Haiti means we could respond with emergency relief immediately after the earthquake hit, and that we are remaining in the country to rebuild for the future. Our main focus right now is on helping children and their families build strong, resilient communities and create a better future for all Haitians." It's good that she's able to join this group and will meet up with Ngozi who is an Ambassador for Plan.
I'm not sure how much we'll be able to communicate with Shelley-Ann as she moves to the next part of her journey but one thing is certain, she is there being the best that she can be to whoever needs her help.
