Greetings from the mountains of Haiti!!  Many of you may wonder if we still exist. We do even though we have been very quiet.  A little update on the past few weeks. We closed clinic December 20 and reopened January 9. It was wonderful to have a break from the daily clinic life and tackle […]

Hello everyone! It’s a great day to praise the Lord! I’m attempting to give you some snapshots from our week at the clinic.
