Today is reunion day for the March 09 HEF crew. A few didn't make the picture- but it's still a good looking crew, isn't it?
So if Francisco yells out Creole in his sleep and there is no one around to understand it... does it really happen? 29 March 2009
Reunion Day
Today is reunion day for the March 09 HEF crew. A few didn't make the picture- but it's still a good looking crew, isn't it? So if Francisco yells out Creole in his sleep and there is no one around to understand it... does it really happen?

He is laughing because he knows we'll never get to see a sign like this in an American hospital!
Ok- ok I will explain... Look over the lads right shoulder. See the broken concrete and the 'water' in the drainage ditch? This is in one of the courtyards of the hospital and the sign "Tanpri, pa pipi la" is on that post next to the water. The sign says, "Please, don't pee here."23 March 2009
Modern day clinic
Sometimes, instead of heading to a village, one of the teams would stay behind at the clinic at the compound and see paitents. And we always brought a few patients back from the village to be attended to that evening. This is a nice clinic and this video gives a brief tour of what it looks like inside.

Rest of the trip to the airport
Here's a link to the rest of the trip to the airport. More of town, neat churches, "organized mayhem" and a nice finish for the MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship).

Interpreter going above and beyond--
One of our fine interpreters, named Desire, took the lead and interpreted the pastor's sermon for us. It was a very nice gesture and greatly appreciated!
Commuting to work for the day...
This beats an L.A. commute, doesn't it??? Pretty sure this even tops an Idaho commute! Figure 4-6 Haitians would squeeze in for the ride home after clinic.
Driving through Hince
Here we are working our way through Hinche to the airport on our way out Monday morning. This will give you a good feel of Hinche, Haiti... without the smells or the wind blowing through your hair.
A link to the rest of the trip to the airport is posted above

another round of music in church
Pastor's wife is leading the choir- pastor is settling into the keyboard at the left of the screen.
Look at that, would ya?
Be sure to check out the amazing work that the HEF does.Here is a link to their website http://www.haitiendowmentfund.org/
Here's a top-notch team doing what they did everyday. They helped 300-400 or more patients everyday. Whether it was trouble seeing, teeth needing pulled, looking at a baby with an ultrasound, general sniffles and sore throats, or just a gentle touch that was needed, these teams of talented people deliver it all!!
Dining and Planning
Finishing up dinner Saturday night and getting our plan together for Sunday. Only half day of clinic after church- pretty sure we saw the same amount of people, though. Just in half the time!
Haitian countryside
Beautiful countryside, isn't it?? At one time it was covered in tropical rain forest. Columbus declared it the "Pearl of the Caribbean"
Leaving clinic for the day
Our work here is done for the day. We had 19 people riding in the Toyota pick-up on the way back to town. The roads were some of the roughest we traveled.
Hello My Name is Trouble...
As if the kids weren't cute enough- they go and wear t'shirts like this!
