This years event is a very special event. With all the challenges this past year that Frank Evert, Water WIthout Borders Founder and President, has been faced with – we want to make this his most successful auction ever. Please help us by attending our auction and inviting your firends. It is for a very good cause. By attending our Fourth Annual Drop in the Bucket Fundraising Auction, you will help Water Without Borders provide sustainable sources of clean drinking water to people in need—domestically and internationally—in two primary ways:

» Mission Awareness. Our mission begins with informing those interested in making a meaningful difference of the importance and need for clean and uncontaminated drinking water. Water in not only a life sustaining necessity, but crucial to preventing many of the world’s problems such as famine and disease…

» Mission Accomplishment. The proceeds from this event will be utilized in the following ways:
» digging wells
» installing water purification systems
» providing disaster relief trailers

Without your support we would not be able to help as many as we have. Thank you!!

Isaac Report.

Friday and Saturday August 23 and 24^th 2012, Hurricane Isaac hit Haiti and left behind deaths, homelessness, destroy houses, garden, animals …….the aggressive Isaac was very impressive for all Haitians.  Comparatively in 2008 Haiti was more prepared. The preparedness reduces the venerability of the Country in term of geographical, deforestation and the quality of life of the population and also the lack of leadership of the Haitian Authorities on the Territory management.

The local authorities and the “Societe civile” established different strategies for preparedness in the whole Southeast Department of Haiti in coordination with the mayors, ASEC, CASEC in all  “communes and section communal in the Southeast department.

The Centre d’Operation d’ Urgence (COU) is the entity similar with the “EOC” Emergency Operation Center in the US. This entity coordinates by the délégué départemental  Mr Pierre Michel LAFONTANT and the Direction de la Protection Civile (DPC).

We realize our own assessment and the assessment of different humanitarians partners all the assessments coordinate by COU to produce a partially report. The impact of Isaac shows firsthand the death, injuries, damages houses, and destroys houses, Gardens, homelessness in the shelters and animals who get killed in the Hurricane.
