Canadian Nurse Educators will be going to Port-au-Prince in October to set up a pediatric 'teaching lab' with equipment and mannequins bought by Rose Charities Canada. Donations from the Sikh community and many others in Vancouver have made this possible. The nurses' school was completely destroyed in the earthquake with the loss of 74 young nursing students. The Vancouver nurses will be offering instruction to 20 students from four hospitals in Port-au-Prince.
