Used laptop donations urgently needed in Haiti

Dear Editor:

LifePaths Global Alliance is a registered non-profit humanitarian organization based in London, Ontario. We provide FREE medical care to the rural village of L'Estere, Haiti at our medical clinic in this town of 38,000 (which was left devastated after the 2010 earthquake). Most of the health care we provide is via telemedicine, which requires laptop computer communication between a doctor in a major city (Dr. Joey in Port au Prince) and our Telemedicine Assistants in this remote community.

We are in desperate need of new or used laptops for our Telemedicine Clinic in order to continue to provide exceptional health care to the residents of L'Estere. Without our clinic, many of the locals here would have NO feasible access to health care and many would succumb to their illnesses.

If you or anyone you know have any gently used (but still in good, up-to-date, operating condition) laptop computers, please consider donating them to LifePaths. We are hoping to bring 10 laptops with us on our next trip to Haiti in January.

For more information about our organization, visit our website (lifepathsglobal.org) or connect with us on Facebook.

Please contact Mary McConnell, Project Assistant, directly with any inquiries or laptop donations.

Thank you! Haiti thanks you!
