He has only been back in Bermuda for a day but already Phillip Rego is organising another relief mission to Haiti to help those still suffering from the after effects of the earthquake.

Mr. Rego led a ten-person team, including doctors Stanley James, Christopher Johnson and Alicia Stovell-Washington, who went to the Caribbean Island ten days ago laden with medical supplies to help any which way they could.

And help they did. Between the doctors they fixed shattered limbs, amputated a young child's mangled hand and helped hundreds of Haitians receive the medical attention they need. Young Bermudian Erin Stovell spent her days canvassing tent encampments for those in need of help and carried them to the truck supplied by Mr. Rego to be transported to a medical clinic he is affiliated with. In total more than 200 people received medical attention from the team.

Mr. Rego's Feed my Lambs Ministry runs an orphanage around 40 miles west of Port-au-Prince. A total of 22 children and young people live there. Luckily, the orphanage survived the earthquake.

And despite the team's return to Bermuda the work continues. Tomorrow four nurses from his Ministry are heading north to help survivors there who have had little attention thus far.

"I believe we accomplished a lot," Mr. Rego said when he arrived on the Island Monday evening. "But it is not just one person, it is Bermuda that helped a lot. When we are there we represent Bermuda, we have a Bermuda flag at the orphanage.

"We are planning to go back February 28, there is a lot of work to do.

"I want people to realise that they are hopeful. When you look through one eye you see devastation but when you look through another eye you see a child flying a kite there.

"But what I really need now, what would make a big difference, is a new van. I bought a car for $3,000 to take people to and from the clinic but it broke down every day. I am hoping to raise $16,000 to buy a new large vehicle.

"But I don't want to spend money that people are donating to help the people of Haiti on a van. So I won't be using that money. I am looking to open a separate bank account for the van.

Dr. James said the new van was one of the most pressing issues for Mr. Rego as he was spending $500 per day on transportation charges for the team

"He really needs someone to donate so he can get a vehicle," said Dr. James.
