PLANO, TX--(Marketwire - August 3, 2009) - Dedicated to giving back and making a difference
in others' lives, Wellness International Network recently brought joy and
hope to many Haitian families. When Wellness International Network Founders
Ralph Oats and Cathy Oats recently rewarded dozens of its
top producers with a seven-day, ultimate Caribbean vacation, they took time
in Haiti to deliver donated clothing, thousands of dollars and school and
medical supplies to Hearts
Together for Haiti.
On this trip, a few Wellness International
Network distributors were allowed to visit the Haitian village and
personally witness the dismal conditions and needs of those living there.
"I have never seen poverty like that, but I also really saw hope," shares
Helga Stekelenburg from the Netherlands. "Since I spoke French, I talked to
those little children and told them we were there to help and that
education is so important. From this small part I have a feeling of hope.
Just by being there, we can think about the possibilities to help. It's so
powerful to see it. Now we can make an even bigger difference."
After seeing the poverty and lack of health care, Wellness International
Network distributors plan to regularly send more medical supplies and
medicine to this village and set up rotations for medical professionals to
provide charity work in Haiti. "There is nothing to compare with what I was
able to see in that village," says Dr. David Fein, an OB/GYN physician from
Dallas. "It was a great feeling to drop off a lot of toothbrushes and
shirts and do some good for the community. We also connected with some of
the charity leaders, and they pleaded with us to set up a direct link for
medical supplies. It was an amazing and heartfelt connection we had. We
exchanged emails and got a list of supplies they needed. I'm going to set
up a donation bin in my hospital."
"It was very memorable and emotional for me to see people who live like
that everyday. In the States, we are really fortunate," shares Kim Lamb, a
trauma nurse from California. "In my hospital, we have nurses and doctors
that spend weeks traveling around doing charity work. Through this
organization, we can get some to spend time and provide treatment in Haiti.
We can set up a rotation, so that's a future goal."
"The clinic in Haiti was the most heartbreaking because the conditions were
so meager. I was grateful we brought antibiotics, bandages and gauze for
them because when we went to the clinic and their pharmacy, the cupboards
were bare," shares Dara McLeod from California. "It makes me appreciate
every day that we were born fortunately and have the opportunity to change
our circumstances."
"Getting a chance to see the extreme poverty in Haiti and knowing how much
everyone in Wellness International Network helped those families in need
was a good feeling," shares Bob Wagner. "Seeing the conditions those people
live under also made me appreciate even more what a great opportunity we
all have with Wellness International Network."
