Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are well and have had two successful days of clinics. The first day at St. Philippe and St. Jacques we saw 230 patients and 16 in the dental clinic and today we saw 235 patients at St. Joseph with another 16 in the dental clinic. We have an optometrist with us this trip. He traveled from Gonaives to be with us. He brought his machine that tests eyes and is able to diagnosis and treat various diseases including glaucoma and cataracts. An ophthalmologist in Port au Prince has offered to perform the cataract surgeries at no charge. What a wonderful gift! I'll  add more some other time. I'm using the internet stick of one of our translators and I do not want to wear out my welcome! Terry
