		<description><![CDATA[My name is Patt Bristow and I want to share some reflections on a recent trip to Haiti. In the summer of 2010 (July 4, to be exact, the heat of the summer), I took a much-anticipated &#8220;mission trip&#8221; to visit Haiti. I was with a group of about twenty others from my church in San Jose, California, and in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[" Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds....Let us us encourage one another." Hebrews 10:24

This verse was carried out during our trip in so many ways and by so many people. God truly has His hand in the work of the mission, from the Haitian staff to the short term workers. The ladies who came with us this time (you may read their reports elsewhere in this web site) were so energetic and enthusiastic that it spread to all around them. They cheerfully worked at all sorts of tasks - cleaning and reorganizing several areas, sorting large amounts of eyeglasses, teaching and preparing refreshments for a group of about 100 children and another group of 100 ladies.

The Eye Clinic is running well and Asa spent time there with further training for Guerby. We also worked out a computer program to keep track of the people seen in the Eye Clinic, particularly those with glaucoma, and order special glasses for those who cannot be fitted with what we have in stock. Dr. Blanc brought a class of his nursing students to the Eye Clinic and Asa instructed them on eye care and testing. He also had the opportunity to teach the anatomy and care of the eye to one of their classes in Port-de-Paix. Asa also repaired a large hole in the eaves of the residence, which had allowed a large red bat to visit us one evening. By way of news, Guerby and his wife now have a little boy, Odin Neemie. All are doing well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So much has happened since my last report in April of this year, I hardly know where to begin.  As I reported to you then, Vanessa and Tom Carpenter (AngelMissionsHaiti), having felt called to open a K-12 English Immersion school and home for children at Jolivert, moved into mine and Betty’s apartment  there this summer along with five of their children for a trial immersion of their own into the culture and community of Jolivert.  Some snags, but overall it was a good experience, and they went home ever more dedicated to carrying out their plans beginning in the near future.

They have already bitten the bullet by purchasing  two acres of land joining our compound to the rear and plans are on for Boss Wilson to begin excavation and foundation work in the immediate future.  A new access road is planned immediately to the north of our property as well.

My April trip included a tour of the new hospital at Bassin Bleu (on the site of their old crumbling and neglected clinic so inadequately operated by the Haitian Ministry of health over the past many years).  What a delightful surprise!  It seems a consortium involving three countries (Venezuela, Peru, and Cuba) have constructed a lovely little hospital complete with two operating rooms, an ER, lab, pharmacy, and x-ray (although the x-ray is, like ours, non-functional just now).  More importantly, it is fully staffed by both Haitian and Cuban doctors and nurses, including general surgeons who are operating almost daily.  And here’s the wonderful kicker to it all:  their services are provided at NO CHARGE!   Even limited amounts of medication are provided free by the pharmacy.  What a boon to this desperately poor community; and only 5 kilometers from our clinic at Jolivert.  Needless to say it has practically put our clinic out of business, since we are still required by the ministry to charge a small fee for both medicines and services, including lab.  And it is only by doing so that we can continue to purchase needed meds for our pharmacy and to meet payroll of our thirty-plus employees each month. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow! As a first timer to Haiti (and missions), I found that it was everything I expected, yet at the same time all I didn&#8217;t expect. The sights, smells and sounds were sensory overload and the utter poverty was overwhelming. Yet, despite the seemingly dire conditions, the people are resilient and gracious. As a result, [...]]]></description>
