All,
Attached is a project description by Reynold Guerrier, Network=20
Engineer and Treasurer of the Association Ha=C3=AFtienne pour le=20

(AHTIC).
I know many have helped and many have offered to help, and kit and=20
people have been sent, and are continuing to be sent, however there is=20
an unmet need, the continuation of the "fuel, food, families" trio=20
that kept the Boutilliers NAP powered and its surviving technical team=20
intact. And the most effective aid is cash, which enables the=20
recipients to prioritize according to their needs, and the bulk=20
purchases of aid recipients proximal to them.
The budget and resources for this project is as follows:

The data centers in a box resource was identified by Reynold on the=20
19th, a week after the quake, when he wrote to NANOG:
> We would like to provide to the haitian government a UC systems=20
with several branches:

> o President office: 10 endpoints
> o Prime Minister office: 10 endpoints
> o 12 mayor city hall offices: 3 for each: 36 endpoints
> o Ministries (9 differents locations 3 for each): 27 endpoints
> o Communications Center: 20 endpoints
> o emergency Clusters: 14 ednpoints

> Total: 117 endpoints

> So if someone can provide recommendations, equipment, skilled=20
technician for that it would be fine.
There is wire transfer information in the attached pdf, and if anyone=20
finds that cumbersome drop me a note and we'll work something out.
Yes, there are a lot of aid dollars going to Haiti, but dollars given=20
to AHTIC will go specifically to re-build the network infrastructure=20
and keep the families of the surviving engineers and technicians fed=20
and their basic needs met.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
