Cholera clinic.

July will soon be here. This week found most our days falling into a routine: school, watering of dry breadfruit trees and other trees, translating the book, and correspondence.

I did finish up all my required continuing education requirements for this year. Think we will be targeting my next exam for next fall while we're in the USA, about 1/2 a year early for renewal. Very hard to learn information that does not apply to medical practice here but at least for now we feel I need to keep up on my Family Practice specialty.

At clinic on Monday I took these pictures of the new cholera treatment building being built where the big, hot tent stood last year. Pastor Rigo arranged for some funding from the Haitian government from a non-for-profit organization.

Next week the district's annual conference will start on campus. While we do not have any direct responsibilities we help in indirect ways: cleaning up the guest houses, helping with electricity [please pray as the main campus generator is broken at this time], donating bananas and so on. I hope to do some blood pressure screening.

If you did not receive a copy of our summer newsletter please let me know and I'll E-mail it to you.


 Dry here so frequent watering of the newly propagated breadfruits and small trees recently planted on campus. Here is a picture of a way to start bamboo. The small black bags contain dirt and once the bamboo roots start growing in the bags you cut away that stalk and plant.

Thankful to make it though the first month of hurricane season with no major storms but a few nice rain showers would be helpful.
