【慈幼通訊社 201029日海地太子港訊】 太子港慈幼會學校的保安問題,迫在眉睫。這表示保護牆的重建工作,需盡快展開,使鮑思高慈幼會士能重新開始教育課程。

Bonhem神父小學校(OPEPB)的烘麵包房及廚房,在一月十二日海地發生的地震中受到一些破壞。主廚房未受破壞,然而圍牆倒塌了,裡面的氣罐、爐灶、鍋子、餐具、廚具、碟子及儲存的食物,均被盜去。

沒有廚房及合適的圍牆,慈幼會士無法展開教育課程。臨時課室所放置的任何基本設施,都會有被盜走的危險。因此重建圍牆為最首要工作。

能容納四十人的大型帳幕充當臨時課室有其需要。美國東部會省慈幼會傳教辦事處,正進行購置帳幕的工作,並將之由聖多明哥空運往海地。

馬爾他政府公民保障部已提供十公噸一點五公升瓶裝礦泉水、十二公噸罐頭食物(吞拿魚、豆類、鹹牛肉等),並可能包括一些毛毯。物流工作正安排展開,以協助那些喪失一切的人士。

災區正迫切渴望總會長查偉思的到訪。他於二月十一日抵達聖多明哥,並在十二日至十五日期間,探望太子港。

Security a Priority

(ANS – Haiti –Port-au-Prince, 9 February 2010 ) – The security of the schools of the Salesians in Port-au-Prince is urgent. This means that the  reconstruction of the security walls needs to be carried out as soon as possible so that the Salesians of Don Bosco can start up teaching programmes again.

The bakery and the kitchen equipment of the Father Bohnen Mini-Schools suffered some damage by the earthquake which hit Haiti on 12 January. The main kitchen survived, but with the collapse of the boundary wall, gas cylinders, the stoves, pots, cutlery, cooking utensils, plates and food stocks were stolen.
 
Without the kitchen and an adequate boundary wall the Salesians cannot start school programmes. Temporary class-rooms, even furnished with the minimum equipment are  in danger of being looted. Therefore the rebuilding of the boundary wall is  fundamental.

Large tents capable of holding 40 people are needed as temporary class-rooms. The New Rochelle Salesian Missions Office is working on acquiring and air-lifting them from Santo Domingo to Haiti.

The Civil Protection Dept. of the government of Malta has offered 10 tons of 1.5 liter bottles of mineral water, 12 tons of preserved food (tuna, beans, corned beef, etc.), and possibly some blankets.  Logistics are being arranged to help those who have lost everything.

The visit of the Rector Major Fr Pascual Chávez is eagerly awaited. He is due to arrive at Santo Domingo on 11 February and will be in Port-au-Prince between 12 and 15.
