Not possible. Please think about the situation there. They would feed one mouth, and to protect, without formation of water and a bathroom.
ReplyDeleteThere is no place to linger. There is very little power.
Think about what it takes.
If you went for 10 days, you will need a liter of water per day. A liter of water weighs about 8.5 kilograms. Only 85 pounds of water.
You want to have your own food. Figure a pound of food per day. 10 lbs.
You will need a sleeping bag. 5 lbs.
How about a first aid kit? 2 lbs.
Clothing? 10 lbs.
Therefore, pay more than 100 kilos of supplies _just yourself_ roads destroyed + 80 degree heat, surrounded by stinking, rotting bodies.
Do not expect a car to transport you.
Your health insurance is not valid in Haiti. If you break a leg, it would be the end of the line for treatment. If there is an open fracture and infected, the current treatment of choice is _amputation_ due to the absence of antibiotics.
In six months to a year, maybe people need to Habitat for Humanity. But sign up now and you now start their internship.
