When I first came here to Haiti, I had no clue about what to expect! I knew nothing about life in a third world country, nothing about the work in a clinic, and nothing about the Haitian people and their culture. All I knew was that I was coming to lend whatever help …
The sun was shining beautifully this morning as I finished my big mug of coffee and headed to clinic to start on my usual row of bandage patients. I love the cheerful banter of morning greetings… the glow of the sun on the mountain after the rain… the beautiful smiles of the children along the trail. …
This story started a long time ago already, but with all that’s been happening at the clinic the last while, I guess we missed blogging about it. I thought we had, but I can’t find a post on it. So if we did and I’m repeating, sorry! Toward the end of March this small undernourished …
