HAITI TEAM UPDATE!

Haiti Team #15 has been in Haiti all week and is just now heading home.  Here is one of the updates from late in the week describing what they've accomplished:

Today was the first day running two simultaneous clinics. Dr. Eunice, Pam, Diane, Melissa & Phil traveled down a riverbed & up into the hills of Que Ignes. They set up shop on the property of a pastor there and treated over 50 patients. Dr. Eunice had treated some very sick patients at this location last November. She got to see some of them again today and was thrilled to see that their different issues had all resolved. One hiccup in their day- a bag medical equipment that they needed was left at clinic 1. But there is nothing like being in a place like Haiti to inspire ingenuity. J

Clinic 2 also had a good day. Our medical team saw 124 patients & gave out 42 pair of eyeglasses. Grace, a senior at Poway High School who is going to nursing school next year, was having the time of her life as she worked alongside KJ, a seasoned nurse. It was fun to see how much she was learning and how much fun she was having doing it.

Norma met with our prospective 2014 Ayaiti Academy students this afternoon. She is gathering all their information so we can share with all of you back home about these phenomenal Haitian young people who would love an opportunity to be sponsored so as to pursue their dreams with higher education.

We finished with the clinic and many of us walked back to Shepherd's House. It is a nice evening and the landscape around us is quite beautiful. Nothing like a good walk and fun conversation to end the day.

We had dinner, took showers, had a team meeting and now we're ready for bed before we start again.

Tomorrow a different group will travel to Que Ignes for clinic 2. Stay tune for more adventures tomorrow.

Good night,
your Haiti team
