We had a good first clinic in Constanza in the Dominican Republic. We are using a community center on the outskirts of Constanza and it looks like a lot of the churches and schools we are use to in Haiti. We have an awesome support group with Maria, a nurse and community activist, and 3 translators to help us each day. We saw 350 patients in 4 days and will hope we can get established and gain the trust of the community we are serving. We will go again in early May or early June to try to avoid the elections that take place in the middle of may.
It felt really good to be active as a group after such a long time. We had our last clinic in Haiti in January of last year. The news from Haiti continues to be tragic and heartbreaking. We will go forward in the Dominican and hope to be able to make a difference.
Thank you to Beth and Raymond for being there to help with the clinics and to help us decide how to go forward. Thank you to all of you for your int
