Leaving for the field

Dawn

Early morning hike rewarded us with a beautiful dawn over the Artibonite River Valley

Cholera Ward

From 20 to 60 patients at any one time

Medical Director

Not only did she take care of the WHOLE HOSPITAL, she also jumped in and made Oral Rehydration Solution!

Director of Nursing

Efonide worked tirelessly and NEVER missed an IV!

Teamwork

Some IVs were really hard to start and Edline and I worked together many hours.

Starting an IV

Gentleman in yellow shirt is a happy former cholera patient who is going home!

This patient's wife was the best nurse!

Flooding

Can you see how the wells get contaminated? (R. Charles pic)

Surgeon who Lanced my Spider Bite

The "blanc" surgeon seated in the front row watching the CDC presentation in HAS library is who lanced my spider bite, alleviating great pain!

Alumni Guest House

My room was on the far right

Noisy Horse

This is the guy who woke me one night.

Street or River?

Rains turned this steep road into a river.

President's current residence

He can't live in the National Palace. This is a hard 45 minute drive from downtown.

Parts were destroyed, parts not. This is on the way back up the hill to Petion Ville.

National Palace

Michelle Obama

grafitti I could read!

Coaching Marc

This was his 3rd session. He was at the school during the earthquake and survived. He went home with a friend and his mother. Then Marc's mother arrived, and not finding him, thought the worst. At least their story had a happy ending.

Gladia

This Beginner Primary String Group is being rehearsed by Gladia, one of the Advanced cellists.

Collapsed house

On the way to "work" we pass this house

Part of the way up to my room

I like being on the third floor with nothing above me!

No cellos down this staircase

This is just in front of my door

Intermediate student

Stephanie was the first student with whom I worked. Now we've had 3 sessions...focus is on bringing the beauty/love of one of the sections of her piece to herself and then to the world.

Trombone sectional

Beginning trombone students and their coach

Oatmeal

I had oatmeal, banana, mamba (peanut butter) and coffee!

Wind instrument in Petit Trou

This was more fun that it looks like...after sweating in the clinic all day. It was a graduated tube that had one tone that I could spit out rhythmicaly...maybe not so musically but I am a string player, after all!
