Below are a list of testimonials received from people who support Haiti Connects work:
- “Your efforts and focus are laudatory and quite important” - Dan Stoneking, Director, Private Sector, Office of External Affairs FEMA
- “I fully support your efforts here and will continue to do so in the future” – David Kirk
- “you’re in the process of helping our country” – Amstyl Polycarpe
- “The unconditional compassion you continually show towards humanity is awe inspiring. Great things will come from your actions for many years to come” – Carmen Villadar
- “The work you are doing is necessary. At first glance, people might think that wireless internet is not a priority but it is vital. Much of the South to South development strategies are dependent on access to the internet. Access to the thousands of online volunteers that assist local NGOs by providing needed functions is only through internet access. I lived for three years in one of the poorest countries in the world. Fixed phone lines outside the capital were rare. Mobile phones were the only way to maintain contact. People outside the capital could really only access the internet through wireless networks. Education, training, news, skills and lobbying all require internet access. It will be years before any sort of fixed line is available. It is a wonderful job you are doing” – Mór Rígan
- “Thanks again Evert. I don’t think even you realize the magnitude of electricity at a hospital. Patients don’t even want to leave CAMEJO even after them being discharged. When our generator broke down, we were force to rely on a backup one of only 4kW. Needless to say we were very limited in the care we were able to offer and were frequently forced to subject hospitalized patients to spend the night in the dark. Thanks to the generous folks at Haiti Connect, we now enjoy a 60kW generator and are able to power all of our medical equipment without interruption to service. It powers our operating room and all of the equipment in our trauma services. We treat 100-115 outpatients daily and 20 inpatients on average daily” Jodel Charles, Renewal4Haiti
