St. Joseph Clinic
A medical team led by Dr. Anna Penna recently spent a week working at the St. Joseph Clinic treating patients and performing surgeries. Above are a few pictures from their time spent in Haiti. When our medical teams travel to the Clinic in Haiti, they often fly into Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. From there, they take a 5 to 6 hour bus ride to Banica, more than likely making an overnight stay there because it is not safe to travel at night. From the DR, our volunteers travel across the border into Haiti on Army trucks (obtained and refurbished by one of our volunteers) for the couple hour bumpy ride to the Clinic on back roads, including crossing streams and rivers with no bridges. We have wonderful volunteers, and we are grateful for the lengths that they are willing to go to fulfill our mission of helping the poorest of the poor.
We also had a construction team, led by Tim Smith, make a trip to St. Joseph Clinic to complete much needed plumbing and general construction repairs. They carried many supplies with them that they are unable to obtain in Haiti. We know that the Fellows and Clinic staff appreciate all that they were able to accomplish.
