Haiti

Many friends and supporters have emailed us asking how the Haiti disaster is affecting the Logos Hope. We have gotten back to many of you individually, but also wanted to put below our ship's "official" response to the disaster.

Haiti Response

Our hearts go out to the nation of Haiti, devastated by the recent earthquake. We want to help in the most effective way we can, and are in discussion with OM Caribbean and others about possibilities. Initial research shows that it is not feasible for Logos Hope to berth in Haiti at this point, but it may become possible for teams to be sent or for the ship to visit at a later stage.

Ship teams have proved effective in boosting rebuilding efforts following natural disasters in places like Grenada after Hurricane Ivan struck and in Sri Lanka after the tsunami. We sincerely hope that Logos Hope can be part of OM's response to this situation. Further information will be available very soon. Thank you for your support for OM's part in the relief efforts already underway.
