Day 5

I know you are wondering…roosters did crow last night but they were late…10:55pm. Their internal clocks must have been off.

Anyway, as for today, we are really finding our stride it seems. Today had this odd feeling of routine and the mood subdued. We started clinic at 9am and saw about 160 today. We seem to have made fast friends with our translators and have become like well-oiled machines. We only hope we are really helping to ease their suffering. Sometimes it is difficult to tell, but we continue to forge ahead with hope and optimism. Read More

Day 4

Good Evening All! In case you were wondering…yes the roosters did crow at 10:45 last night, right on schedule. Anyway, we had a great day. Clinic started at 9am with all translators in place and four providers seeing patients – only about 120 and we were done by about 11am. We are told this may be due to local holiday – will see what tomorrow brings. Read More

Day 3

Hello all! We are finally 14 strong since Lee and Chad arrived safely this evening. Our luck is changing – we got some additional supplies with them. Still awaiting quite a bit but hoping this is a trend.  Read More

Day 2

Day 1

Hello all! It was a bit harrowing from the start with a drive to Greensboro. We are all safe but split up for now. Adam, Andy, Vanessa, Robert and Rachel R in Haiti. Janet, Lauren, Steph, Sondra in Ft Lauderdale. Jenny and Rachel F in the air to Ft Lauderdale as we write.  Only one checked bag made it today but we expect many more tomorrow. Mother nature strikes again. Will write more tomorrow…

Love to all,

The Team
