After the earthquake, I felt the pull to go and help out in the relief work in Haiti. I had spent almost a year there as a student missionary during my college days. Going there now seemed like the right thing to do, and I'm glad I did. Here are a few shots of the experience.
American Airlines provided a free flight from Miami to Port-au-Prince for volunteers
My traveling companions, John McGhee and Scott Hutson.
Adjusted architecture in Port-au-Prince.
Loss of vehicle and building, not to mention those who were inside.
So many buildings ended up this way.
Tent village of displaced people. USS Comfort (hospital ship) in the bay in the background.
Partially collapsed presidential palace with tent village in the square in the foreground.
Smile despite the tragedy.
Club Indigo, where I stayed, was really quite nice.
David and Erin, EMT's from Bermuda, who brought us patients.
Markes, another EMT from Bermuda, playing around with kids at an orphanage.
The littlest one at the orphanage.
A little boy with a femur fracture. Not the prettiest hip spica cast ever, but it worked.
Examining a hand injury.
Debriding a foot injury in anticipation of a skin graft.
