My home town, Surrey, issued a Press Release yesterday saying that they are partnering with H2H to assist the city of Grande Goave.
Here is the press release:

Here is a video of the Mayor and my dad being interviewed about her announcement:

My dad did a great job explaining the importance of this commitment from Surrey - immediate aid relief will come but the rebuilding of H2H, Grande Goave and all of Haiti is a long term need... one that will require a lot of hands.
We had a very busy day today as we hosted a medical clinic here today. It was a long and hot day but lots of people were treated and it was definitely worth the effort!

Amazing! Sooooo glad to hear about the support from Surrey (I happen to have been born there myself). Haiti will need the help ... and much more.
Finally, not only am I openly willing to admit that I live in Surrey...but I'm actually PROUD that I do!!!! (haha) This is wonderful news...now we just need to hold the right people accountable to this annoucement!! YAHOO!!! Your Dad looks good, very proud of you, I love his answer to when you're coming home. Stay strong, try to rest and never forget the love there is for you back home!
