People waiting in line to get reg. for food,clinic outside our base -start lining up at 1am !Next picture,putting a roof on a bldg. that will house all the different teams that are coming to help.The Dr. & nurse at the make-shift clinic.
Wheel chairs,crutches at airport. And the supply room with rice & beans !
Bill & I had the opportunity to travel with a team of 19 (from various churches ) to the city of St. Marc. The trip was planned before the earthquake to do ministry for a YWAM base. This base has been ministering to the people since 1984 (read Taking the High Places by Terry Snow to get "accurate info " :) ) .After the January earthquake struck our team members changed a little. There would now be more experienced contractors going,sorta a "dream team " a nurse & and a doctor...and of course me, an organizer !Our plane had to land in the Dominica of the Republic (DR) stay the night at a ywam base in Santo Domingo then travel 12 hrs to St Marc. All of this was quite an adventure ,a wake -up call to how the rest of the world lives ! Cold showers,water only on for short bursts,no tp in the toilet (basket provided ) if its yellow let it mellow ,if its brown flush it down , yeah,well.....rice & beans A LOT , water ok at 1st,but then "what happened " ? !!! More culture changes,but all do -able.
some photos and then I'll write more later....
