AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
FROM DR. NAPOLEON B. HIGGINS JR. BPA NATIONAL PRESIDENT55

Many of us are witnessing the devastation to the
island of Haiti at this time. I've been fortunate to have visited Port au prince and done mission work in Haiti. It
is a place of natural beauty and people. At the same time it is extremely poor. Many persons in Haiti are living
on the edge of existence even before the earthquake and it is fact that this country is incapable of an adequate response.
I say this knowing that the people of Haiti are extremely resilient and are doing all that is humanly possible. Even
with their efforts, they will need an unprecedented amount of help.

Due
to my love for that country and how I was highly impressed with the people and the depth of their need; as president I am
asking BPA to in some way to help. There is an immediate need for emergency help. This country does not have the
resources to do this. There will be a large need for medical and mental health disaster recovery.

If any of our members are Haitian I ask that you contact the BPA via our email BPA4info@aol.com. 4
We would like to coordinate with other groups to make sure our efforts are a success. Expect more information on how the BPA can help shortly.
Dr. Napoleon B. Higgins Jr.
