WILMINGTON – Julie Gustafson, Wilmington High School Class of 2010 graduate, has found a unique way to mark the end of one phase of her life and the start of a new one. Although she heads to college at the end of the summer like many of her fellow grads, before she does that, she will be boarding a plane to Haiti next week for what purports to be a life-changing experience.

Sphere Handbook Now Available in Kreyol Thursday, 2 September 2010, 9:43 pm

Imagine you are working in a setting affected by a natural disaster, conflict, or both.  How would you determine the number of liters of water per day beneficiaries need?  How many calories of food per day?  How many latrines for how many people?  What level of malnutrition signals an emergency? Look no further than the Sphere Handbook, a set of minimum standards and indicators that represents the strong consensus of the international humanitarian community on these and other issues.  The handbook is a useful tool for planning, carrying out, and evaluating humanitarian assistance programs.  As of today, it is available in Kreyol.  Please share with your Haitian counterparts.
