Dr. Bob and Betty Head to Haiti
We are nearly complete in our preparations to enter Haiti on the 2nd of February. Â We had hoped it would be on the 1st, but find that we will arrive in Santo Domingo too late to cross the border into Haiti on that date. Betty is working with an agent in Haiti who is arranging for our travel by bus from Santo Domingo to PAP at 9 AM on Tueday, the 2nd.
We are also blessed by the family of Edny Chavannes, (husband of Retha, a nurse who is going in with us) as they are donating a private residence with a large yard very near where we will be working near the epicenter of the quake. We are blessed to have access to running water, toilets, and ladies who will prepare our meals while we work. Vanessa Carpenter of Angel Missions Haiti wishes all of us to work with her and Dr Guerry at her clinic on Delmas 24, not far from downtown.
Drs. Arrafat and Chilukuri, two surgeons of Evansville, Indiana have obtained a huge supply of surgical instruments, anesthetic agents, and other crucial supplies and we are taking in two duffels of supplies with each person. We will rendezvous at the motel in Miami at 8 PM Sunday, 1-31-10 for a final briefing.
To all our supporters and prayer warriors, we say thanks once more for all you have done. Your generous gifts are sufficient to help continue with the clothing, housing and feeding of these unfortunate victims for months to come. In the meantime they have purchased hundreds of pounds of stock bottles of crucial medicines that we carry in tomorrow. Â If I have an opportunity I will give a follow-up report while in Hait.
Pray for us! In His love, Dr. Bob, Saturday, 1-30-10
