Atlantan Returns to Haiti to Help Salvation Army Relief Efforts

By Jim Burress

Atlanta, GA – After heading the Salvation Army in Haiti for six years, Ron Busroe (bus-row) returned to Atlanta a few years ago. This morning, he's back in haiti working on relief efforts there. WABE's Jim Burress reports.

Within 48 hours after the earthquake, Maj. Ron Busroe left Atlanta for Port au Prince to aid in the Salvation Army's efforts.

He spent this weekend back in Atlanta, returning to Haiti yesterday.

Busroe says conditions are slowly improving, and today some 15-hundred young children will for the first time since the quake return to the Salvation Army's school. There, they'll receive food and medical care.

"We have a clinic on site with 10 American doctors and two Haitian doctors. And so we'll be also pulling some of those doctors to work with the children."

Busroe says despite the despair around him, he's inspired by the Haitian's overall resolve and positive outlook.
