Medical Clinics in Haiti

This time when I went to Haiti I went with Love A Child again, and one of their ministries is to provide medical care to those who don't have access to it. We started our journey by going to a village called Lastik. This is a village that can only be reached in the dry season because you have to drive through a river bed to get there.
We packed up the vehicles and drove to the village. Then like a well oiled machine we quickly unloaded and began setting up the medical clinic.

In two short days we saw close to 500 people.

We planned on staying in Lastik all week but being in Haiti things are never certain and because of some political unrest we had to pack up early. Our team was heartbroken to have to leave early but it's important to use wisdom and the people were very sweet and understanding.
We packed everything very quickly
While we didn't get to stay in the village we had planned on staying in we did get to help elsewhere ... more about that in my entry.
