Kervens Peltro, the boy in the blue t-shirt is a mentally handicapped student in our program here at Coram Deo. His grandfather came with him to the clinic to see the team. He is a sweet old man who is thankful that Kervens can go to school.
This man with the red shirt and hat came with his godchild. The father is on the right. The mother died during the earthquake. This man is very polite and thankful for care that is given to his family. He lost 5 family members in the earthquake and has nightmares every evening.
This boy was injured in the earthquake when falling cement fell on his ankle and broke it. He gets the cast off in another week. He is doing well and lives in a refuge camp near Sherri's house.
A young woman came with a 3 day old baby. She explained to Dr. Karen that the mother had no breast milk.
Dr. Karen made a "tent call"! We went down the street to the refuge camp that was set up on the Delmas 31 soccer field. The tent is made out of pieces of plastic and you can see the bed is not much to speak of. When the rains come this will all turn to mud. We are going to bring the family one of the tents that we recently took down on our property. Pray for all the "tent babies" being born and for health and safety for mother and child.
Pastor Marcelin (the man on the left) is Amos's father. The medical team worshiped at his church on Sunday.
Pastor Ramos (the man on the left) has a church in Cite Soleil. He came by to visit as well.
The people patiently waited for their turn to see one of the medical providers.
Sony is a newcomer here to Coram Deo. He is friends of one of the guys and just turned 18 years old. He has been eagerly helping out here to keep himself busy. He brought his nephew to the clinic. The little boy's mother died after the earthquake. I have never seen so many orphans as there are now here in Haiti. There are lots of children who have lost at least one parent. The challenge for the future will be in providing support to these broken families. Pray for all the orphans here in Haiti.
Bertrand and Junior helped out with keeping the clinic organized as well. The guys are well trained now with all the clinics that we have had. It is good to see.
