I am not a person who likes to lounge at a resort or beach. Much better to try and help people in Cite Soleil! Dr. Ed came with a medical team to hold a clinic and I brought my father along to help.

Willy of Action Chretienne Pour le Developpement opened the clinic in prayer and also explained to the people the clinic procedure.

It is faith that helps the people living in difficult circumstances within Cite Soleil.

The team set up and started treating the patients who were seated in the church pews.

Mackenson used to be a teacher here at Coram Deo and at Adoration Christian School. He is fluent in english and helps out at clinics with translating. He helped out as the translator at the registration table. It is good to continue to see him active helping people.

On Thursday Dr. Ed and a visiting medical team from the United States held a medical clinic in Cite Soleil. The clinic was held at the church in the Soleil 17 area of Cite Soleil.

This young girl is listening attentively to what the doctor is saying!

The haitian man on the left is Erismane Dorelus (Mackenson). He was our first school teacher for our school program back in 2000. We helped him finish his secondary education and also helped him to take courses in english, journalism and computers. Now he is using his english and communication skills to help in translating at the clinic. Mackenson now has his own school in Fond Verrette!

The pharmacy station was set up at the front of the church.

Amos registered people at the back of the church.

This is Eglise Maranatha. It is located on the main road to Cite Soleil. We held the medical clinic inside the church.

I have known Joel and Willy for 10 years. They have a couple of schools in Cite Soleil and are always finding ways to help the people who live here. Part of the grafitti on the wall says "Aba Minustah, viv retour Aristide". This is translated in english as "Down with Minustah (UN), long living for the return of Aristide".

Lukner helped at keeping an eye at the front door of the church.

The patients were able to wait on the church pews and didn't have to wait in the sun.

There were a lot of patients who had high blood pressure and medications were provided to treat this.
