Greetings!!

It was another scorching day today. Extremely hot, and that was in the shade!! The guys working out in the sun are wonder men. I really don't know how the do it!! God bless them!

We finished the school children this am, and saw regular clinic patients in the pm. Overall, a good day.

This evening was a reinforcement for the need for tents and shelter for the displaced persons of Haiti. It started raining about 5pm and rained steadily and very hard for 3+ hours. I stood out in the rain for about 10 minutes and for the for a few minutes it felt good. Then it started to hurt, the raindrops were so big and so many. Then I got cold from being wet with the wind blowing. So it is possible to be cold in Haiti! Not frigid cold, but cold none the less. There was also thunder and lightening during the storm, which we all know can be dangerous.

As we drive back and forth to the clinic, we see a little more progress each day. Rebuilding is happening, even if is slowly. It's hard during the rainy season, since the footers fill up with water every time it rains. Once the footers have been poured however the walls can go up quickly.

We hope to be able to go to an IDP camp tomorrow and have clinic there. As always plans are subject to change!

Bon Nuit!!
