He witnessed the devastation as the first images were broadcast by the media, & saw firsthand, the devastating effects to the most vulnerable; Haiti’s orphaned children. Yank didn’t wait for the main airport to be made fully operational, he flew to Haiti from his home in Nassau Bahamas with a chartered private plane numerous times to help the country’s most needy.
