Heading Home
After a final breakfast in Haiti we packed up, weighed our suitcases, said our goodbyes and headed to the airport. It was difficult to leave, but I think most of us were happy to return home. What an amazing adventure it was. Thank you to the stellar 2014 “Health for Haiti” students. You exceeded all…
Our Last Day in Haiti
This morning we visited Mother Theresa’s Hospital for the Dying. It is a beautiful and peaceful place where terminally ill patients are placed. The male patients are on the first floor and the female on the second. According to the hospital rules, the males in our group stayed on the first floor and the females…

Another Busy Day in Haiti
We had another full day in Haiti. Several of the students enjoyed the sunrise from their beds on the roof. After breakfast, we headed out to the warehouse of the Swiss-based company, Vestergaard. We picked up the seventy-five Family LifeStraw units that we were able to purchase with the funds we raised. Each unit will…
More pictures from our day!
Breakfast before we left. Several students have discovered that the roof is a great place to sleep. No power? No problem. Gina greeting Pastor Vincent. Good night from Haiti!
