August in the name of refreshment and also good deeds. The campaign is here for the fourth time. Cafes and pub customers can donate from 1 till infinity Czech crowns for a glass of tap water at Hranice, Olomouc, Svitavy and Zábřeh. After that Archdiocesan Caritas Olomouc use that donations for organize health camp for residents, especially children, at the back country Baie de Henne.  This year at autumn there will be also a doctor with humanitarian worker from Caritas.

Businesses where the event will take place will be marked in August by posters and flyers. Their customers can put donations into a money box. This year the campaign For health Haiti will be at nearly twenty businesses. „Last year good people donated us with more than twenty thousand crowns. Thanks to them, we inspected and treated 240 Haitian children. Most of them struggled with rash, inflammation of the eyes and ears, lack of vitamins and digestive problems. All of this causes a lack of drinking water and full-fledged diet,” said Klára Lőffelmannová from Caritas. She is going to help Caribbean this year at autumn with doctor Josef Marada. „Thanks to doctor we should be able to treat more children and some adults. Health camp will be extended Baie de Henne to other places in the country. We will do preventive examinations at other schools, which we are supporting with Czech donators,” said humanitarian worker.

Doctor Josef Marada helped in Haiti three times. The last time was after devastating earthquake in 2010. He confirms that the conditions there are very tough and medical care is unavailable. „For large regions there is just one hospital. The hospital is in many cases closed and it is not working or it is on poor level. Even more everything in Haiti is charged, there is a high level of corruption and people often die because of trivial diseases. Once around 5 A.M. one woman came to us with her weekly baby and it did not show signs of life. The baby died because of dehydration and exhaustion at home. This cases occur there very often and doctor is completely helpless. „This situation was one the hardest in my professional life,” remembers Josef Marada.
