The Children’s Medical Escort Program is starting up again after a long hiatus due to Covid 19!
Our very first escort happened in August when Cindy Banker and 6 year old Berline enroute from Port au Prince (PAP to Columbus, Ohio (CMH) where Berline will have surgery to correct bi- lateral clubbed feet. She wanted to attend school so badly but was not allowed to go because of her feet. When she returns home to Haiti her wish will be granted. She’ll be a school girl!
Then we had another more complicated trip:
Bunny Doi and Aicha Touahria brought two little girls from Paris (CDG) to Columbus . Ohio, USA (CMH) . One little girl was from from the Ivory Coast and the other from Burkina Faso. Aicha is one of our Paris based escorts and a huge help to our escorts from the U.S.
This trip did not go 100% as planned as Bunny had to book an unexpected hotel in New York. They eventually made it to Columbus and we should all appreciate the professionalism and flexibilty of these escort volunteers.
