We just found out today that our reservations are confirmed! Laura, Kim and I will be leaving for Haiti at the end of December- provided that we are able to raise the funds needed to go! I will be staying for 2 weeks to work as Pharmacy Interns at the Bernard Mevs Hospital in Port-au-Prince. Laura will travel with me, leaving on Christmas day, leaving on New Year's day and Kim will come down New Year's day and we will leave together on the eighth. This is currently the only critical care hospital in the country!
I am so excited about being able to volunteer in such a valuable way! This will also be the first time I have needed to speak french since last summer. I really feel that I have something to offer and feel very blessed to be able to provide my skills.
I am very excited about the film project! There are some legal issues with filming so I'll need to find out what the restrictions are but will take photos & film whatever I am allowed. Still haven't decided on the film title. I'm thinking of "Bon Courage, Haiti!" or "Haiti: La Douleur et Le Courage" or "La Sante d'Haiti au Bernard Mevs" It's still rolling around in my brain...
So, funding, funding, funding! The more we raise the more good we will be able to do! Any funds over those needed to pay our expenses will go toward supplies for Bernard Mevs & Medishare.
