Sixteen skids of medicines and 2.8 million water purification tablets were delivered yesterday (Nov. 15) to Food For The Poor (FFTP) in Haiti. The operation was made possible thanks to a partnership between Air Transat and FFTP who flew 25 tons of basic necessities as well as aid workers from Montreal to Port-au-Prince. The emergency-relief flight was seen off in Montreal by Jean-Francois Lemay, president of Air Transat, and the Ambassador of Haiti to Canada, Frantz Liautaud. It was welcomed in Port-au-Prince by the Canadian Ambassador to Haiti, Paula Caldwell St-Onge, along with Bishop Oge Beauvoir, executive director of Food For The Poor Haiti. After the flight cargo was unloaded, the group was taken on a tour of the FFP Haiti warehouse where 300 Haitian staff distribute food to 250,000 people every day, and support public hospitals and clinics across the island with medicines and supplies.
