Happenings in the Clinic

Another great day Haiti Arise. Started out at with a half day at the clinic which ran so smooth as we are getting more comfortable and confident with much encouragement from Dr. Amelia and Sharon. Today I cared for a small baby who was brought in the clinic by his grandmother
( the baby’s care giver).The grandmother herself presented with her own health issues and admitted she was struggling with being able to provide for the baby ,with lack of food, clothes, etc for her young grandson. The whole team pulled together gathering formula, pablum, clothes and counselling. We prayed with the family which gave both the family and us great comfort. So please remember this family in your prayers tonite. After lunch we had about two hours of free time which was really nice as our schedule has been very full. Later in the after-noon we went around the local village and were able to visit with, pray for and give a few gifts of needed supplies (face clothes, toothbrush, soap ,etc). People living in extreme poverty requesting prayer for safe shelter was very touching. The children are so sweet and very friendly. I must say my time so far in Haiti has been an amazing experience. Just a quick note to my family at home—I love you and am thinking of you just know that we are very well looked after here. xxoo. Colleen
