Fevers , prenatal clinics and construction

Today the clinic was busy. Many fevers
As well as many pregnant woman coming for check ups and ultrasounds .
Students got to shadow with the help of
Mary and Gena.

I am happy because we finished our amended book for the dept of public health. Off it goes tomorrow.

The back wall is almost finished as the UMass students worked so hard today.
It was great to see some of these students who have been traveling with PID for 6 years now as Juniors in College still with such a desire to learn, help and reach out to the world.

Some of the students worked on water filters, visiting some that had been set up and other that need to be set up.

Seems like a great team

Teams, teams and no batteries or

The Antioch team left , small business team left , most of the solar team left. Two from the solar team stayed as we wait for the batteries for the solar power( still stuck in customs) . We are sad because even if we get the batteries , there will not be enough time to train so it will not be operational.
The UMass Amherst team with two of our clinic rotation nurses and a few others who joined the team. We are looking forward to a great work day.
Some will work on water filters, some in the clinic, others on construction and the database.

Water, electricity,solar and Fritz

Well we did water filter training and passed out 15 water filters.
The bunkhouse has all new wiring. Fritz a kind, elderly
Man in our hypertensive program came in on Sat and had no food until he came back on Monday. He is the first
Elderly person that we have sponsored.
One of the professors from UUI is the sponsor.
We are still waiting for the batteries to finish the solar. Two from the team have decided to stay until Friday.

Port-au-Prince Outing

   The counselors completed their research project today and some also were able to do home visit counseling sessions for a few PID clients. The team seemed to get a lot from today's trip to Port-au-Prince and the museum. It was nice for everyone to get off the PID grounds, especially the Solar team, which has been working only on the roof and was glad for the chance to see Haiti outside of the PID clinic roof. One Solar team member said that it helped him make a connection between the hard work they are doing and the reason they are doing it.  

Almost solar

Tonight I was given the honor of
Installing the last solar panel and having my picture taken with the solar team. It was great! They have worked so hard the last two days, and it looks amazing. Hope the batteries get released from customs on Monday.

Tomorrow Allie, Ally , Mr Genois and a few other will start to install 15 more water filters.
