Therapists Needed in Haiti!

There is a tremendous need for PTs and OTs and this need will be there for the coming few months. It would be great if you could arrange a rotating group of 5 to 10 people or more, staying for 1 week or longer, with 1 day overlap to share information. But ANY team you can bring would be very helpful.
At this moment it is difficult to fly into Port au Prince (no commercial flights), your best option is to fly to Santa Domingo/Dominican Republic and either take one of the daily buses going to Port au Prince . Tortugair and UNHAS also have flights from the Dominican Republic to Haiti, for Tortugair they charge you USD 250 one way, while UNHAS is free (for now)
