[Nancy E. Brown Connolly]

I am very interested in the outcome of this meeting and the next steps. Is there a summary available for those who were unable to make the meeting?

[Marcia Eichenauer]

Hilary has replied to this email from Hilarynotes, on behalf of Dr. Noji. I have sent her an invitation to become a part of our Livestream Channel and she may be able to stream this conference live, with only a laptop and digital video camera and connecting cable, even at this late time.

Here is the website for the conference participants who are interested in turning in via the Internet. This allows for up to 50 viewers, since we are only beginning this network capabiliy.

To do so, they need only to send out an invitation with this web address.

We hope this will help facilitate the setting up of a vehicle, whereby the most vulnerable in Haiti receive medical attention, including the women and child victims of violence in the camps.

Grace and peace, Marcia Lynn Eichenauer

In the interest of time, I am adding you to our Production Team in the event that you will be attending this event and if Dr. Noji would like to stream live.

CC and Dr. Noji, Livestream does an excellent job of streaming live events. There web address is www.Livestream.com. I am sure things are getting very busy prior to tomorrow's event, however, I believe this will be a very valuable tool for this event and I will hope to be there, via the Internet.

[CC-Conrad Clyburn-MedForeSight]

Marcia,

I do not believe this meeting is being streamed over the internet. But, I will be in attendance, and will be happy to share any information that emerges from this discussion with the Haitian Minister of Health. Thank you in advance.

[CC-Conrad Clyburn-MedForeSight]

Marcia,

I don't think this meeting will be streamed over the internet, but I plan to attend and will be happy to share with you and your organization any information that comes out of the meeting that may be of value.

CC

[Marcia Eichenauer]

Dr. Noji, CC, will this also be streamed and thereby available to access over the Internet. I am in Florida and unable to attend this Conference, however, I am diligently working to address issues of violence against children and women in Haiti and especially rape in the camps. I am beta testing a new media product and welcome doctors and universities to help us in the design of this new software product. Additionally, it would be miraculous and another breakthru to connect to the creators of eHospital and Minister of Haiti. Grace and peace, Marcia Lynn Eichenauer, [e-mail].
