Every patient receives free meds but this is becoming more difficult to accomplish as the value of the Haitian $ falls. Please consider a monthly monetary donation for meds. Every dollar counts and goes a very long way!

Haiti is on EST, barely. I think its as far east as you can be in this time zone. It may be tropical, but its completely dark at 6.
Cazale is a good size town located a river valley in the mountains. Its about 35 miles NE of Port au Prince. After you turn off the pavement, your go very slowly over the roughest road you can imagine for about ±30 minutes. The bone jarring, teeth rattling, dirt and rock road is an adventure in itself. Its impossible to stay seated on the benches in the back of the truck. Well you could try but it wouldn’t end well. So you stand, feet firmly planted, knees slightly bent and hold on……tight!

It’s abundantly clear that my attempts to post from Haiti have been an epic fail in the past two years. Because of this struggle to keep followers engaged and informed, I have defaulted to using Facebook…….and that doesn’t even work well most of the time.
I like real time, in the moment, sharing…………but it just is not (usually) possible. It’s my way of letting those that encourage and support me be a part of the journey and sometimes the adventure. Because of this ongoing struggle, I’m tweaking the blog. This will remain a space primarily devoted to my volunteering in Haiti and my experiences in country. However, I will also be sharing articles, links, poems, etc. written by others. I also hope to list books and resources that relate. These may relate to Haiti, Mountain TOP (another mission that I another passionate about), poverty both here in America and/or abroad, etc.
Sometimes, there is a specific need at Real Hope for Haiti, or other ministries I follow or support. I’ll be sharing those here as well.
My plan is to have everything linked together so whether you are a FB friend or blog follower or both, you can find the posts/material easily.
God has given me this passion and compassion and I am so thankful for it. Some would say, He also gave me the gift of words…….sometimes, lots of words………..and if you have ever met me, they come with a southern accent. You can’t get the accent here, but the rest will definitely shine. My prayer is that God’s light shines through me in all my endeavors.

It’s been a long time since I’ve successfully blogged. I’ve upgraded equipment. Downloaded the app. The true test will come when we get to Cazale. Wish me luck!
If you don’t see anymore posts………….then feel free to look me up on Facebook, it’s my default avenue to keep everyone connected to our trip.
