IASK - Trip to Haiti

Haiti
February 6-14, 2010  

Sampson went on a Humanitarian trip with an organization called IASK.  They flew into the Dominican Republic because the Port Au Prince airport is not accepting international flights yet.  They then took an 11 hour bus ride to the city of Leogane which is about 20 miles west of Port Au Prince.  This city is located close to the Epicenter of the earthquake.

 As a student and EMT, Sampson went with a group of doctors, dentists, nurses, paramedics, and dental assistants to assist the people of Haiti.  They were able to care for over 1200 people from Monday to Thursday night.  Sampson was in charge of Triage (he assessed and prioritized the people based on the severity of their condition).
