The news from Carrefour is sooo good! A big overhead tent has been set up, and there is cooperation between other area leaders so the number of people being treated has increased to 2,200! There is talk of a full-blown hospital! Some nurses have begun to branch out to other areas, with the operation in Carrefour being their source for medical supplies to other areas of Port-au-Prince. Pray for food, however, which is getting harder to come by in Gonaive to bring into Carrefour.
Bryan is flying out from Albany on Monday, and from Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday with Amy Carbone (a physician's assistant), Duane Moulton (owner of a cement contracting business) and Kate (who will help orient and assist Amy in Jeremie). Bryan plans to divide his time between Carrefour and Jeremie. Hopefully Jon can puddle-jump with a plane between these two regions of Haiti.
My uncle used to say, "In Haiti, you never say you will do such and such. You say you will try." But it's pretty amazing what God can do with people who try. I counted and rolled all the change that our young people collected in only a couple days. It was $513.00...that will feed a lot of Haitians....just some little kids...
