Hikes and Humidity!

Today our team hiked the hour-long (one way!) hike up to Dupin to finish doing physicals on our students. We were thankful that some of our students met us halfway down the mountain to help us carry supplies!! It was a BUSY and productive day; again, we stayed there longer than anticipated but were thankful to get everything finished. We saw a student from last week that we did a minor procedure on and we were encouraged by what we saw. Belinda, Candylove asked for you right when he walked in! J We’re all very tired but the team is doing well and working hard!

Deb: The community agents started their clinical experiences yesterday.  Shari and I were with four agents in Degeance and Pam was with two agents in Chardene. We are so impressed with their performance. They arrived before we did and had all of their initial responsibilities done of checking the bathrooms, lifestraws, and hand-washing buckets. Today we had three agents at MPCA and Pam had two at Dupin. The other agents are helping the team with physicals while the three of us are supervising what they will be doing on a daily basis after we leave. The hand-washing song we taught the agents when we first got here has been such a big hit. They have gone to each classroom and have taught them the song as well as the importance of washing their hands. It has been so much fun to see them take a leadership role in their assigned schools. It has been so rewarding to see them in the clinical setting putting into practice what we taught them last week. I’m looking forward to the next two days. I’d like to give a shout out to my kids and grandkids. Looking forward to talking to you on Friday when I arrive back in the States.  Also looking forward to worshiping with my church family on Sunday.

Shout out from Shari: Saw the full moon last night. Glad I’m in Haiti and not at work!
