Vanessa draws water in a syringe for an ear irrigation!


The job was not an easy one!  Julie Mowery was the pro at it.  Yeah!


A Haitian mother keeps a close eye on her baby in a mosquito net being treated in our clinic!


A little one gets treatment by Dr. Tim at a mobile clinic today

Rose & Deb get started right away with a bad leg wound!

The team looks on!  This lady is one we have treated previously and she is staying on the grounds but she was afraid to come back for treatment because we hurt her.  We had told her to go to the local Doctors Without Borders Hospital to get her bad wound debrided but she never went.  Now that we know she is staying on our grounds we will keep after her.



Rick Lapp gets started posting notes & conversing with Tim Slavens

A man was just caught stealing this morning right next to our property. The center circle shows a man with his hand tied behind his back and a police officer on either side. The people were beating him up until the cops arrived. As they got him to his feet one Haitian reached out and slapped him. Quite a crowd was gathered and had become very loud and angry. When the ruckus began I thought I heard two gunshots, but no one seemed to be injured except the thief.
Hannah & Vanessa care for another dehydrated newborn!
Barb ... all smiles even though exhausted!
