Project HOPE and the USNS Comfort are bringing HOPE!
The USNS Comfort arrived off the coast of Port-au-Prince on Wednesday(20/01). Dr. Harold Timboe, HOPE Chief Medical Officer assisted the US Navy’s medical staff in caring for the first 60 Haitian patients to be admitted to the 1,000-bed floating hospital ship.
From the Comfort there is a gratifying sight of renewed strength and hope. As the medical teams made rounds on the wards after yesterday's first day of patient care. Today we were greeted by faces filled with relief, rest and a beginning sense of safety, security and comfort as our patients began to realize the new world to which they had awoke.
Just the day before, the Comfort had arrived in Haiti’s harbour and the helicopters made their patient pick-ups and transfers to the ship. As the patients arrived in the casualty receiving area of the Comfort, you could see the drain of life on their faces and in their spirit---a sense of dazed fatigue after several days of nearly unspeakable ordeals resulting in a bewilderment, but Comfort had arrived and now they could rest to renew their life and their spirit.
The world has come to Haiti, Project HOPE and the Comfort has come to Haiti. In the upcoming days and weeks Project HOPE will expand its impact on the people of Haiti with special attention paid toe the orphaned and vulnerable children with its famous caring and compassion.
