SASK Haiti Medical & Dental Team

This Saskatchewan based team of 14 members will be traveling to Grand Goave, Haiti to hold a Medical clinic.
This year we have added a dentist who will provide much needed dental care. We also will be taking along some
experienced tradesman who will help with building projects for Haiti ARISE.

We aim to teach the Haitians working along side us so that their skills will in turn serve their own people. We are
grateful to everyone who has donated finances and items of goods to help us fill our many pieces of luggage in
supplying the needs of the clinic.

Patient Tsunami - the team

There was a time change in Haiti yesterday but few people seemed to know about it. Our team is “Haitian” enough that we slept in a bit and had to wait for the men even longer  to join us on the roof.  We had no air conditioning last night so our sleeps weren’t the best but we were happy to open the clinic for what proved to be the “tsunami” of patients.

Shuttle service to Petit Goave for lab and xrays.

Last patients - tired staff !
      
 


We didn’t mention that we got to tour the BlikeBrit orphanage on Saturday. It is a new orphanage that opened last October and was built in memory of a 19 year old girl that was killed in the earthquake.

Dave also gets smiles!

Elva was delighted to get to visit her little sponsor girl in her home. 
She took some clothes, shoes and toys. Stephanie was receptive and full of smiles.

  




Thanks to 
JB Printing, Trenton, ON, 
Haiti ARISE now has new signs that are being assembled on site with the oversight of Teresa.

On the edge of town is the fishing village, a picturesque spot.



Taking a breather at days end.
Ceiligh can't get enough of the kids.
This ones for you Mom.... we love you.
Just relaxing - with Austin Honorat.

Nothing like fresh lobster cooked on hot coals on the beach.
Called to fix a glitch in the dental room.
