photos - haitian children, adults

The ravine on Delmas 31 is turning into a dumping ground for bodies of children. We don't know how they died but people in the neighbourhood are upset about it. The people went into the ravine and put the body near the street so that the authorities would not ignore it. Pray this practice stops.


Jaquelere Derilus died this week probably due to a severe seizure. Keep his family in prayer.


Magdaline Bazile is a child from the last round of hydrocephalus surgeries done here in Haiti at the end of October. This is a photo of her in the pediatrics room at General Hospital. She had a seizure and is now on seizure medication and back in Tomazeau.


While Magdaline was in the hospital I visited the abandoned childrens ward and there was a baby there with spina bifida/hydrocephalus. Pray an orphanage is found to take in this child. I don't know what his name is. Many times parents will abandon their children when they are handicapped.


Here are Austin Fontus and Iliodor Noel on their hospital beds in the surgical ward of General Hospital.
