After collecting food, clothing and medical supplies Rea Dol together with members of Sopu Fanm pou Fanm and SOPUDEP For Life, left for Jérémie and the village of Despagne on Friday 14th October. They expected to spend at least three days in the village and surrounding communities meeting with people and delivering supplies. Unfortunately 4 hours from Jérémie they were in a car accident and were unable to continue.
