Today reality begins to set in. We have met several more volunteers at Miami Airport this morning. We left for Port Au Prince at 940. Once we made it to Port au Prince we gathered our luggage and nervously awaited the “puddle jumper” to arrive to take us to Jacmel and then after arriving in Jacmel there were two pick-up trucks waiting for us to take us to the Clinic in Cyvadier. We quickly caught on that it was very important to stay with and near a Haitian interpreter. Once at the clinic we settle into our rooms and unpacked all of the supplies for the clinic. I know many of you are wondering what the conditions are like here. Of course I have never been to Haiti before so I can’t compare but I will tell you it is very humbling. The Haitian people are extremely friendly and grateful we are here. When we arrived at the clinic Monday night there were already Haitian people waiting for the clinic to open the next day. Off to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.
