Called over to clinic around 5:00 PM yesterday. Several adults talking to me in Kreole with a little 6 yo sheepishly sitting in clinic with a big bloated belly.he was wearing a milk mustache. After finding one of the older boys (high school)who spoke some English it turns out the kid drank the bottom of aa bottle that had bleach in it. we checked him out and most was well. He was afraid about the whole situ and that he had caused it. Watched him for a while and later sent him home to see me this AM.
Some folks were visiting when I got back to the Quad. One gent from Cross International and 4 ladies from a new organization that is trying to help out with the orphans. Had some Pasta and GARLIC BREAD with them and chatted for a while.
Some excitement this Saturday.
A ship left Maine area loaded with goodies about 3-4 weeks ago. Ten trailers (20ft.) on deck and a hole full of people's stuff from their homes wrapped in garbage bags. It is meant for Espwa. They will unload the trailers about 60 miles up the coast and drive them here. This process needs a crane and none around here (no port).
Then the big boat will come here and the stuff in the hole will be offloaded to small fishing boats and brought ashore. Father Marc is hiring extra police and UN peace keepers to be available just in case this all causes some sort of a riot---exciting,NO????!!!!!
Some of the trailers are headed for other communities around
Haiti. Very expensive to truck stuff around these days down here
Check out the news or CNN this weekend to see if anything happens.
Have a good Friday night.....jerry
