The medical providers saw a variety of illnesses.

The haitian woman who translated for this medical provider is in medical school here in Haiti. She is a friend of Erol's and came just to help out. It is good to see haitians helping haitians.

Erol helped to translate for this medical provider. The guys here at Coram Deo are being kept busy this summer!

It is important to reach out and minister spiritually to the Haitian people as well. The team handed out creole bible literature and evangelized to the people as they waited.

Pastor Senord lives in the Petionville area. He is a very dynamic individual and a good evangelist. You can tell he loves the Lord and the haitian people too. It is important to use both the word and the deed. One without the other will never work. You can't evangelize to a person if you don't first help them. They won't pay attention to you.

While people were waiting to get processed through the clinic evangelisation was done. The haitian man on the left works with Sherri doing evangelism. Jonathan Grooms is on the right. He would speak to the people and the young guy in the middle is Manu! He is being trained to do translating and is not shy to stand in front of a group of people.

While people were waiting we handed out World Food Programme Energy Biscuits.

The World Food Programme helps to feed a lot of people here in the country.

Jefftay is Amos's younger brother. He volunteered to help distribute cards for the clinic throughout the neighborhood.

Herold is our new handicapped teacher, taking Jackenmy Miliens' place. He came by to volunteer his help at the clinic. He helped to do translating in the pharmacy.

A parent of one of the school children told me about a neighbor with medical problems. I told her to bring this lady to the clinic so that she could see a doctor.

This lady has untreated diabetes as well as high blood pressure. Several of the adults who came to the clinic had high blood pressure and needed medication.

The untreated diabetes is resulting in her foot getting severely infected. This lady has already lost some toes and will need to have her foot amputated.

The father standing beside this girl carried her to the clinic. She had an operation in 2006 for what probably was some kind of abdominal tumor.

The tumor has grown back with a vengeance. Her right leg has been paralyzed for the last couple of weeks because the tumor is pressing on a nerve. This is why she can no longer walk. This is a sad case as well.
