Guess who made it to Haiti (nah nah),
I have been here since yesterday , where have you guys been??
Flew from Fort myers to Les cayes in about 3 hours or so. arrived at 11:00 am, grabbed some lunch and went to clinic. There are about 50 new kids that just arrived from some orphanage somewhere and all needed Physical exams so that all the paper work looks good. All were boys from 4-16 years old and all were healthy except for some scabies cases and colds.
not too many folks in volunteer quarters right now, but more are coming. Had a beeer with some folks that I knew from before and then crashed for about 6 hours.
Weather is great warm but no humidity with fairly cook nights. I still sweat like a pig, however.
Today had a busy day in clinic which included seeing some adult patients which I have never been to fond of but what you gonna do?
One little boy with sickle cell crisis and 106 temperature that scared the crap out of the staff. he was pretty bad. by the way if I had sickle cell disease I would not want to have a crisis in Haiti after a big ' Quake. not good Karma!!!!
There are about 15 young girls at another of ESPWA's buildings in town that are coming tomorrow for checkups as well as regular clinic load. ESPWA clinic sees all of the orphanage kid as well as people who live in the area( no cost-The Real Public Option-send this to Barack for me, OK???)
If YOU missed previous or past notes a good story of Haiti in real life as opposed to NY Times
is pwoje espwa.blogspot.com
If anyone has a spare coin or two drop it off at www.freethekids.org. I hate to keep buging all my friends about this but one thing that should come out of all this mess is that Haiti needs to stop allowing child slavery (see Restavec) here and abroad.
This my newest crusade-no one should do this to kids-and USA should styop helping Haiti until this occurs---------tell your friends-------start shoutin'-----I'll calm down now
Still working on forwarding some photos to you all....coming soon....be well....jerry
