Outreach Clinic

We woke up again at 3:55 to our wonderful friend Rooster. At 6:30 we were off to a clinic up in the mountains. A paster that Kathleen knows put together a make-shift clinic so that the people up there could be seen. Before the earthquake there was a clinic that serviced 50,000 people. But it was destroyed so all the people in the community now have to walk 12 miles if they need to be seen. We saw 100 people today and gave them the medications we had. Mostly head aches and stomach aches, rashes and fungus, and lack of nutrients. I wish I could speak Creole. Becca was doing some counseling with some of the workers at the school. One of them said, "Our government doesn't support us the way yours does. What can we do to sustain ourselves withour our government?" With as much as we complain about our government, at least we don't feel that way. Tomorrow I'm going to an orphanage with 100 kids to do a caregiver's school to the employees.
