Welcome to Haiti!

We have no wireless this trip, and the electricity just went off! So, this will be quick. We've had two great days of clinics. We saw 255 at St. Phillippe and St. Jacques yesterday and 220 at St. Joseph's today. Our dentist treated 22 yesterday and 15 today.

The  road to St. Joseph's is being repaired ! Hallelulah!The St. Joseph's school is fully operational and is amazing. We now have 455 students. It is the largest school in the area.The new desks are beautiful! The walls at the church at St. Joseph, which were damaged in the earthquake, finally had to come down, so we now have plywood walls on the sides.

The school at St. Phillip and St. Jacques has started construction. There will be 6 classrooms. They plan to keep the temporary school up and would like to buy more land behind the school to build a new church building.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes at English Club!

 

Do not expect more until we return, when I'll add more information and some photos. Until then, those of you who have been to Haiti can ponder the question which a student in our interpretor Watson's English Club asked me Saturday - "Do you see heaven in Haiti?" Of course, my answer was "Yes!", but then the follow up question, "Why?" Bondye Bon. Terry
