Greetings from Pignon, Haiti
Wednesday night and we are getting ready to leave Haiti around noon tomorrow.
Team members are saying their goodbyes and packing.
Tuesday part of the team headed to the Citadel but were not able to get there
do to demonstrations near the hospital in Millot. They turned around and had
a leisurely drive back to Pignon. The rest of us worked on desks and cabinets.
Later in the afternoon some rice and beans were delivered to selected families.
We also brought three of the gals out to UCI to work with the peanut butter program
at the school which their church is currently funding.
Today we loaded the trucks and headed back to Guimby. We delivered and
assembled 21 desks did a bible lesson, sang songs and some crafts with the
students. It was also baby clinic day at the school. Approximately 40 mothers
showed up with their babies to be weighed and get vaccinations. A couple of
nursing students doing a rotation at the hospital went with us and did the
clinic. Many of the mothers were pregnant so I think the school will have a
lot of students in the future.
The storage depot was broken into last night. The thieves came through
the tin roof and took our miter saw, extension cords and some other
small stuff. A disappointing way to finish the trip!
Dr. Guy’s goose nipped Paula’s toes while we were up at his house
on the patio this evening. The goose is very protective of Dr. Guy
and goes after you when ever he thinks you’re not looking. Right after
that she asked Dr. Guy if he likes baked goose. He says he does but
not this one! He also said if we stay here again next year we will have
peacock. Says it tastes like turkey?
See you state side the end of the week.
Bondye Beni Ou,
Dean
