The day started at about 6:30 am with some group devotions and then breakfast shortly after. The plan today, and I say plan loosley, is to do a dental clinic. Simon is the dentist in our group. Katrina and Nelda are nurses so they are assisting with blood pressures etc. Kendra and I are trying to help with it but there is only so much we can do. So here I am to report back home.
The staff here at Haiti Arise are the first to be seen by Doctor Simon. They get a check up and possible extractions if necessary. Our supplies are limited so Im not sure what there is for medication and anesthesia. But the Haitians are being very brave about it.
As for the rest of us, Mike is helping in the clinic, Richard is taking video, Lenic, Pat and Keith are doing some manual labour. The manual labour consists of mixing concrete and making wall panels. And our course there is the trade school that also needs to be rebuilt. The ground was dug up and staked out to begin the foundation. But according the blue prints the digging was done all wrong. So we start from the beginning. The plan is yet to be made with an architect and engineer from alberta. The will be working on this today. So lots to be done!
And by the way its about 9:20 am and probably 30 degrees with major humidity. Everybody is in a constant sweat. But the day is going to be great! Have a great day everybody! love ya
