9:38 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|

Really important
to get some background for our press releases and web content. |
9:39 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
We have been doing
fine so far with the our BBC sources and AP photos, but would be great
to get some unique Inepd content. |
9:41 AM |

|
|

Just had a quick
meeting with Trish from Programs, Vincent from Emergencies and Penny
from finance. |
10:39 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
We really need to
get some funds to Brian this afternoon before the banks close so we
can get the response moving. |
10:40 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Really need to see
some Inepd logos on some live saving relief supplies in Port au
Prince. |
10:41 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
We wanted to
donate directly to the Partner organisation there. |
10:43 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
But Trish informed
us that when we last worked with them they didn't even have a bank
account. |
10:43 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Penny from finance
came up with the idea of charging Brian's Visa card so we can quickly
get cash to start up an office and get things going |
10:44 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
There are credit
card facilities in the Port au Prince so Brian would be able to access
the cash almost immediately. |
10:45 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Vincent from
Emergencies was pushing hard to make sure Brian had enough cash to get
going. He thought 200,000 euros was the minimum. |
10:46 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
In the end we
agreed that 150,000 euros would be better. |
10:48 AM |
15-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
150,000 euros is
within the spend limit for Penny from Finance and Vincent from
Emergencies to sign off on. |
10:49 AM |

Had to postpone
our crisis meeting today. Have not been able to get in contact with
Brian in Port au Prince. |
1:41 PM |
19-Jan-10 |
|
|
|

Some of the people
at the Hostel helping Brian with the response have not heard from him
all day. |
1:42 PM |
19-Jan-10 |
|

I think the death
threats have really shaken him up. If only we could somehow increase
his Visa Card limit. |
1:44 PM |
19-Jan-10 |

The suppliers in
Port au Prince were upset that they might have to wait a year for
there money. Brian has also said many ATMs aren't working |
1:46 PM |
19-Jan-10 |

|

What a day. Still
frantic calls to Port au Prince. It looks like Brian has disappeared. |
12:19 PM |

Brian's friends at
Hostel Experience broke into his room and all his belongings have
gone. Such a disaster he was great with the media. |
12:22 PM |

The finance
department is really concerned as they charged up Brians Visa Card
with 750,000 euros and part of the money was from DFID. |
12:24 PM |
20-Jan-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
I think Brian was
a little rattled by the Death threats and given a few days to calm
down. |
12:25 PM |
20-Jan-10 |
|

|
InepdMercedes |
I'm sure Brian
will be back with us in a few days and we can recover the money. A
real pity as out Earthquake response was going so well! |

up especially if in a country with an extradition treaty with the UK. |

Things were going
so well with our Earthquake Response. I am very concerned about our
Inepd financial situation. |
12:36 PM |
20-Jan-10 |

|

If we can't
recover the funds from Brian's Visa Card we may be in deep financial
trouble especially if DFID finds out. |
12:37 PM |
20-Jan-10 |
|
|
|

I haven't want to
tell the Inepd staff but since the end of last year our financial
position has been precarious. |
12:38 PM |

Only a miracle
could save Inepd now. If only we could find Brian. Maybe we should
start a #FindBrian campaign. |
