At PaP Airport
Very quick but productive trip to Haiti working with the health cluster at UN and collaborating with several hospitals to link them in with each other for personnel and supplies.
Today I caught up with and ran around with Fire Captain Paul who is back to help receive the surgical team from Mission Outfitters which includes one of my med school classmates. Just before they arrived I got a big surprise by way of an email that my flight out tonight will be earlier than scheduled by a fair bit.
I had to scramble with my bags on a moto-taxi last second but now am through security and waiting for the earlier Air France flight. The bugs with the re-opening of commercial flights still need to get worked out. To my chagrin there is no toilet after security and to stay hydrated I drank my water before they took it as I went through security. With a bit of effort I went back and forth and now am waiting with a bunch of people crammed like sardines in a sauna box.
I must say my life is so blessed though compared to those who live in poverty and suffering here in Haiti. For this reason we are committed to the sprint and marathon of the relief and to bringing hope and healing to this nation.
If flights go well I should be at the Pan American Health Organization HQ in Washington D.C. tomorrow to continue the collaboration and assistance with the medical relief efforts here in Haiti Many thanks to all the organizations who are working together on this and who are supporting our efforts and in turn Window of Hope theirs.
We are blessed to have you on our team and appreciate so much your love and support.
Be Blessed,
Dr. Jim
