The team arrived safely in Haiti. They travelled to the school, El Quesqueya, where they will sleep tonight. In the morning they will travel 3 hours to a primitive tent village where they will set up a clinic with OB/GYN capabilities. They will spend the night in that primitive tent camp tomorrow night (not the army one pictured here). Keith commented on how amazing the organization is between the Army and National Guard officers as far as assessing the need and assigning workers to those areas.

The part of the team that arrived earlier spent Wednesday seeing 110 patients, as many of the cases were severe. They tended to a dying baby, a couple of ladies with eye infections that had to be lanced, and many others.
They worked all day under the hot sun without much rest.

  1. Great pictures. Is he sending them via iphone? How will he keep his phone charged up? With a generator of some kind? Do they have computer capabilities?

  2. Yes, he's emailing them with his IPhone. He is keeping it turned off when he's not sending texts or pics. At the school he would have been able to charge it, but I doubt he'll have those capabilities in a tent city. We'll see how long it lasts, I guess.
