Day Two = Success









Day Two = Awesome team!Our morning ran very smooth for the medical clinic and Bible Adventure class. The first patients of the morning were students they had a variety of issues. In the afternoon our patiently waiting community patients were seen. Renee, Shirley, Nancy and their translators Chlotide and Monica were working like well-oiled machines, they found their rhythm today and were seeing patients more efficiently. We seem to be having blue light specials on worms and asthma issues. Nancy had a little girl dancing after her respiratory treatment. Triage was a bit less hectic for Deb today and she did not have to put on her bouncer shoes. One boy had been playing on a wall and fell yesterday. He came into the clinic with a broken nose, stiches and a concussion for a dressing change. We continue to have patients with depression because of the earthquake, loss of their family members and still living in tents. The clinic is out of many medications so we are going to tackle a Haitian pharmacy tomorrow…….it actually sounds fun!George Washington Carver came for a visit to the Bible Adventure class today. There were several of the school boys who donned a mustache and played George Washington Carver. The joy of laughter filled the school yard today lifting hearts. The wonderful activity had children exploring their dreams of future based on the inspiration of George Washington Carver and his discovery of 300 different things to do with peanuts. We also heard beautiful strains of Swing-Low Sweet Chariot to the accompaniment of Brittanie, Kelly & Deb’s ukulele.Karen shared her devotion tonight about building relationships and serving in Haiti. Tomorrow we are going to Mother Theresa’s Hospital to help feed infants and toddlers, lunch at the Epidor and the Iron Market in the afternoon. This will be our first adventure to the Iron Market. We will continue to try to post pictures but the internet is very slow.Bonwit!
