There is still many who need water.  The city doesn't provide water everyday, sometimes not even for 4 to 5 days.  More and more people come to get water at our mission compound.  We still supply thousands of gallons of water a day!

We are off to a mobile clinic at Leogane.  Seven of the nine team members are in the back of the truck.

This man is a  neighbor at our compound in Leogane.  He was injured when his house fell on him at the time of the earthquake. He had a head injury and he could not walk.  We went to his home to take care of him.  There is a picture of Vanessa Thompson dressing his wounds in the January blog.  The article was labeled (Vanessa treats a head wound).  The man came to visit us and to thank us for the help that he received.  We were so happy to see him doing so well.

Dr. Todd Taylor and Dr. John Gehman are looking at an object that was retrieved from a little girl's nose.  The mother said she couldn't breathe because there was an object up her nose.  Dr. Taylor began pulling the object out and it was several inches long and looked like an earthworm.  It is curled up as he is holding it with tweezers.

This is only one of the many patients that Dr. Taylor saw at the mobile clinic.  Dr. Taylor gives each patient special care.

Jeffrey McDowell has been busy doing various jobs.  Here he is working in the pharmacy.

Haiti Prays & Keeps Going!

A Group Picture & More Earthquake Damage To Report

Even the graves were opened in the city of Petionville during the earthquake.  The concrete was shattered and the caskets were outside the tombs.

The team posed for a group picture at a park in front of the Royal Haitian Hotel.  Dr. Todd Taylor, Diane Kauffman, Gina Blocker, Lori King, Jeffrey McDowell, Hannah McDowell, and Dr. John Gehman go for an afternoon stroll.

Another Exchange Of Teams! Hannah McDowell Returns To Haiti.

A new team arrived today by bus.  This team will finish up the month of February.  They too had a long trip.  They were at the bus station waiting on another member of the team.  He came on the following bus with the remainder of the luggage.

 

We arrived early for the bus.  They wanted to be sure to get the first bus back to the Dominican Republic. Nice smiles for 5 a.m.

This crippled lady crawled up to the door of the mobile clinic.  She made her way to one of the doctors.  Dr. David received her openly.  She crawls everywhere on the ground.  She was so happy for the attention.

There is a high demand for mobile clinics.  The team left after eating the noon meal for another wild adventure.  The road reminded one of a motor-cross race track and we went to a neighborhood of less fortunate people.  There were no complaints for the team was eager to help these needy people.

Haiti Pictures To Be Shown!

Pastor Alan Walter will be showing pictures of Haiti's earthquake destruction and our medical clinics this Sunday (Feb. 21) at 6 PM.   The service will be at Mt. Rd. God's Missionary Church located at 1530 Mt. Rd. in the village of Penns Creek, PA.  It will be live-streamed: mountainroadgmc.org

A New Team At Work in Haiti!

This is a tough case for the doctors.  The baby was born the day of the earthquake.  She was a twin.  The other baby died and she is very ill and very tiny.  Let's pray that they can save this little one.

The team was called out of the clinic into the yard where a lady had fallen unconscious.  They were able to revive the lady and then moved her inside for observation.

Wendy has had a very busy 1st day of clinic.  There were many lined up to see the doctors today.  It was one of the busiest days that we have had.

Robbie is hard a work!  There are many patients to be seen.  It seems there are more here now than when we started.  The word must be out that they will be attended.

Tamara has an advantage.  She is able to understand the language and can communicate with the patients without an interpreter.  She loves her work and the people.

David explains to interpreter Jean Robert how the medicine should be taken.

Tamara, Diane, and Patti are in the pharmacy area.

A Valentine's Day Baby & An Exchange Of Teams!

Can you imagine what is going on in his mind?  What is he contemplating?  This must be serious but we know that he can handle it.

The team was distracted this morning by a mother in labor.  Breakfast was ready but it would have to wait.  Church was in session and there were a few medical workers that would be absent from the services.  Our little buddy was born this Valentines Day morning.  Baby boy and mother are doing fine.  This was a special moment for the medical team.  All of them took the opportunity to hold this precious little fellow in their arms.

Here are two happy sweethearts.  They were there to help deliver this bouncing baby boy.

A new baby boy makes these men happy!

The team went to the bus station early to get a bus to the Dominican Republic. From there they got a flight home. They were a very gifted group and God used them to help those in need this past week. (Jennifer Moyer, Janice Springman, Dr. Dan McKinley, Brenda Habecker, and Missionary Don Mobley, Jonathan Springer.)

A new team arrives!

The team had many suitcases filled with food and medical supplies. It is quite a privilege to have the doctors, nurses, medical assistants, medical personel, and laborers come to assist in this time of crisis.  God supplies the persons for the need.
