Dreaming for the Future

January's trip became was an administrative trip.  We were able to unpack a new ultrasound machine.  What an amazing gift to "see inside the womb!"


So much equipment is out dated and broken that despite having it at our location in Fonds Parisien, we are simply unable to use it.  The purpose of this trip was to make plans for the future.  We have survived the earthquake and the mad increase in patients and those in need.  We were taking each day as it came.  However, God had very different plans. 

This January I visited an local area NICU.  I was overwhelmed at the lives they were saving with basic equipment.  I knew there were babies that passed away and became angels just because we didn't have the oxygen to help them breathe, or the nutrition to help feed them.  The seed was planted in my heart to bring a NICU to HCM.

We have now hired a third midwife to join the team.  Dr. Maxene Cenatus, Ob/GYN along with Ms. LaPaix and Ms. Michele welcome Ms. Izema to the group.  Together, they are going to take care of a lot of women and children in Haiti.  God bless them and their ministry to serve.
