Retired engineer Mike Young from Crescent City, CA was already headed to another volunteer job in Haiti in March 2011. Team Redwood was able to coordinate with the orphanage to pick up Mike at the airport during his layover in Port Au Prince and take him to the orphanage (ORO) to inspect, measure and make calculations and plans to install a permanent safe water system for the orphans. Mike returned to Crescent City and started working hard to make this dream a reality while Team Redwood continued to fund raise. While we were busy here at home, a group from Doctors without Borders come in and did some MUCH NEEDED WORK, including installing a safe water system! Mike now has 4 plans that can be used at other places in Haiti, Latin America or Africa because unfortunately, many, many people still go without safe drinking water. Team Redwood was able to send cash with Mike to help feed the orphans, which they have been very frugal with and they money is working out very nicely for them, however the needs of the orphanage are still great. Please continue to give.
