Dear Friends of Haiti,
Life is changing rapidly from day to day. The city of Ouanaminthe has swelled to record size. Univers has added, at last count, over 330 new students to a student body which was already 1700 students. All rooms, including storage rooms, have been transformed into classrooms; new staff hired. In addition to expanding current class lists, we have added new 1st, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. The 13th grade has moved to the large conference room. And still the families come, requesting admission.
Medical mission teams come to help with the increased patient flow at Univers Medical Centre. Many patients with serious wounds have made the long journey from Port-au-Prince to this border town and still need significant medical care. The nursing staff is doing a lot of dressing changes. We’ve had four weeks in a row of visiting surgeons. Two weeks ago, the team included two orthopedics. This week we have a general surgeon as well as a couple orthopedics. An anesthesiologist from Port-au-Prince was found at the last minute to join the team. And other teams come to help with needed facility improvements and enrichment.
We are blessed with so many partners. Thanks for all your financial and prayer support.
