The first day at the clinic was a success! As we greeted over 100 patients with an enthusiastic "Bon Jour," or as Wally would say, "Bon Jooooooooour," we were touched by the Haitians' gratitude for the services we provided.
To celebrate, remember, and recognize all of our "happy moments" Butch gave each of us a bell to ring while we are "in the moment." Needless to say, there are lots of ringing bells. Confusing at times, because local Haitians ring a bell to signify they want to shine your shoes. Not much shoe shining going on here, just joyous occasions! Yesterday evening as were setting up the for the new clinic, one of our team members accidentally locked herself in the bathroom. (It was not her fault, it was a damaged lock). Once we found out where the yelling was coming from we were able to save her! She made sure to ring her bell once she was free. When arrive to the Guest House in the evening, we all share the happy moments we had that day.
Looking forward to sharing more experiences,
