hi kids,
Went to mass this AM- CUTE!!!!
Trying to make about 200 young boys quiet to start Mass is very much like herding skunks-not that easy. Father Marc had to do a little yelling just to get started. Mass in French with singing and Bongo drums is always pretty cool.
Got another small plane load of stuff from Florida via the Bahamas today.lots of medical supplies came in that will have to dealt with by the clinic nurses-most of it pretty useful and the rest will go to local hospital in Les Cayes. They ( hospital folks) are pretty much done with the acute medical stuff that came down from PAP. Now lots of wound care, infection treatment as well as lots of long term physical therapy for the amputees (kids & adults). One problem is not too many therapists in Cayes.
Some young musicians from Florida here talking about getting the older boys from Espwa to make a CD (singing) with some of the profits coming back here. Only problem is there are a lot of folks and groups with great ideas out there without enough soldiers on the ground here to GET 'ER DONE.
This will be an interesting idea to follow.
Really things aren't very different for me other than they have been on previous trips except that there are many more people in town so our clinic sees more non Espwa patients ( adults and kids). Good for the Haitian people because they get seen for nothing and meds are free if we have them available(while they last).
Pretty warm today, a little rain last night Actually sweat most of the day while contemplating my belly button lint....allfornow.....love...jerry
