Finishing the Week
Yesterday was a beautiful day exploring the Citadel & learning more about the history of Haiti. Our tour guide, Johnny, was a lot of fun! Today was another day of clinic. We were fortunate to have 8 students from ITTP (also known as the Haitian PT program). They came to observe & learn more from us. All of them were very bright & willing to help with patient care. We had a little over half a day at the clinic & then went to visit the school. Cowman school is a Christian school that currently has kids ages 3-15, that are a mix of missionary kids & Haitian kids. After visiting the school Kayla, Jordan, & Bev went on a home visit. Angie, one of the missionaries, asked us to visit a mother of a student who had a stroke last June. The mother has improved a lot & is up walking without an assistance. She was telling her story & talking about how she was embarrassed about going out in the community. It was a great opportunity to share with her that the Lord allows some things to happen for His glory. Her recovery is a miracle & she could share it to show God's power & goodness. The Lord continues to encourage us & bless us in our interactions with the Haitian people. Please pray for us as we finish up with our last day of clinic & traveling back to the States tomorrow.
