Saturday morning

Kathy is wearing the perfect medical shirt for this mission trip.

Some of our group went to tour the dental office and Hope for Haiti this morning.

Frantze stopped a wheelbarrow vendor to buy some of her peas or beans. She said they are different fro m those in the US and they are delicious!

Ranashka guve Lauren a good morning Bizou.

The children all know "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down" but they taught us a Haitian one where they fall down multiple times.  Much more taxing!!

At the orphanage, today our theme was the HEART and Love in Action (1 John 3:18), Love God and Love others.

John working triage under the mango tree. This huge tree provides incredible shade.

Scenes from market day above.  We do believe the truck was overloaded.  The wheelbarrow contains sugar cane.

We had no idea there were so many calculations to be made as a pharmacist.  Mike has to double check everything.

Hugging moment for Suzie.

Toodie and Kathy get a ride in the back of the truck after a long day's hard work.

Mel and Bruce in pharmacy.

Sandy is dedicated to triage and she is fantastic.

These are the batteries that power the orphanage!! Recharging the batteries comes from running the generator only at night. There is no utility power at the orphanage. The generator also pumps the water for the water storage tank on top of the building.

Emily and Dr Elizabeth discussing some patients. Doc Sarah  in her little office. Jen Wride works full time out of the boys' orphanage teaching them how to plant, grow and harvest food.

Mike Lucey's pharmacy is upstairs.  We figure he makes innumerable trips up and down and up and down.

Kathy says: "You want me to do what?"

Mark working under the gigatic mango tree which provides blessed shade for the medical team and patients.
