- Anything else you think kids/teachers should have to help them get ready. 

* Note: Please consider adding the at least one set of refills for ink cartridges, batteries, light bulbs or disposable refills for any appropriate items. 

Items on this list are based on notes from Cluster Meetings, Conversations with The Ministry of Health, Conversations with The Government's Health Response Cell, WHO-PAHO presentations, conversations with country directors of select NGOs at site of outbreak, meeting and email from Nurse Manager at Main teaching hospital of Haiti. As the outbreak unfolds and as partners respond, the data on this list may change and is accurate as of THU 10/29/10 and anticipated to cover needs for the following 2-6 days for urgent items and for the next weeks to months for items that build community response capacity.
