Mike and I just returned from another medical mission trip to Haiti. The last two trips, we have worked mainly in the area around Gonaives (3 hours from Port-Au-Prince) with a church called Living Waters. We usually do 2 or 3 clinics there and then one in Port-Au-Prince the day before we leave. This year Mike and another doctor saw 787 people in the week we were there. Mike and Dr. Wilsey had to turn some away because we had to stop about 3:30 or 4:00 to get back before dark on the days we worked out from Gonaives.

After traveling to Haiti, I always come back with more in my heart for Haiti. I love the people and come back impacted from seeing their situation, their resilience, their gratefulness, and the faith of those that are Christians. We visited Mallery Neptune in the Gift of Hope,a cottage industry where moms make and sell things to enable them to feed themselves and their children. Mallery and her husband Frenz, a Haitian, also have an orphanage and a school. They work with Foundation for Haiti Against Poverty.
