Hurricane Update from Floresta Haiti

From our Haiti Director:

Floresta Ayiti is very worried about the future of the Haitian people, in particular the farmer with we are working with.  People are hopeless, looking any sign of the authorities. Everyone is focused in Gonaives and Cabaret. People assimulate Floresta to the government because every day we receive letters from farmers who ask direct assistance from Floresta to fix their houses. Unfortunately we cannot afford to do anything. This is for the first time that consecutive storms touch all the area in the country. A lot of structures in the protected watersheds [areas where coordinated reforestation and soil conservation was applied] are severely damaged. I think the proposal submitted could be a relievement for the farmers. Now, I am preparing data about the lost estimated by Floresta members. When it will be ready I will send to you a report by category.
