Haiti Update

Update from the team that is on the Haitian/Dominican Border:

Drove 5 hours Monday Morning to Jimani, nearest DR border town to Port-au-Prince.

I was overwhelmed at whatwe saw. I walked through 3-4 operating rooms taking photos and video of surgeries.

My heart went out to these poor people. Little boy with both arms amputated; we gave him a stuffed pet toy and his face broke into a huge smile.

His mom and dad said it was the first time he smiled since the quake.

This place is like M.A.S.H. I had to drive back in the dark last night - 6 hours of stress and tension on these roads...

We will be cooking and serving 800-1000 meals for till Thursday when we leave. Another group is flying in from NC next week.

More photos and updates later.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Couple after surgery in recovery (a kitchen/ER) smiling for the first time in weeks.

the open wounds on this ladies legs were...I had to turn around and walk out to composse myself. She was a trouper!

These people are SO brave.

tent city made up of mostly bed sheets - these (recovering after treatment) were so traumatized after the quake,

THEY WOULD NOT STAY INSIDE A BUILDING!, but rather sleep outside in the elements.

relief workers from all over the world are here.

U.S. Army Blackhawks bringing in patients from Port-au-Prince. Our "compound" is the building in the back

with our trucks and workers in maroon T-shirts. we cooked and served over 800 suppers last night.

no smiles from this guy.
