Jean-Pierre Taschereau
FACT Team Leader in Haiti
It’s hard to put into words, the destruction. I mean, entire neighborhoods just collapsed…

It is extremely stressful…. Physically you see it, I mean we were seeing people alive one hour, dead the next hour in our larger hospital compound.
Steve McAndrew
FACT Relief in Haiti
And then I took a couple more steps and she screamed at me, and you know, it still gives me chills…the way she screamed, you know, it went right through my soul and I just froze and she said, “sir, you have to help me!”
Ian Heigh
FACT Logistics Team Leader in Haiti
The difficulty in leaving is that you always feel like you could’ve done more.
Tom Carnegie

The objective, and it has been our objective from the start, is to return families to their home plots.
