Time away from the
Repheka Clinics. Time to reflect on strategies. Strategies to keep it going. To
serve better. To go after new funding. To meet potential supporters.
Medications free of charge
At the Repheka clinics, one of our main strategies for keeping our
services accessible to all is giving patients medications free of charge. Thus,
with only $1.20, which is the fee for a visit, a patient can come to the
clinic, see a doctor, and go home with the medications that he needs to get
well.
Day to day
Saturday AM: Travel…From one airport to
another…from one country to another…from one world to another…from Haiti, with
its distinct, uniform culture to the United States where multiple cultures are
in display in all walks of life.
Saturday PM: Three hours in a plane…bored…too
much time to think.
Saturday Night: Home, first or second? The
rooms seem small and the ceiling low.
Sunday AM: Sunday service…Hugging friends…smiling…Great
sermon…What a sweet feeling!
Sunday PM: Dining with friends…great food…nice
conversations…another sweet feeling!
Monday AM: Computer…work.
Monday PM: writing this post.
Only Faith
In July, I’ve written
about a young man with urinary condition. After seven surgeries, he was still
unable to control his micturition. I’ve seen him again this week. He was
scheduled to have his eighth surgical intervention, but at the last minute the
American urologists decide not to do the surgery and refer him to a team of
Haitian surgeons. This unforeseen change has sent him into an instant state of
despair. Now he doesn’t know what to do. He’s not certain that the surgeons can
succeed in his surgery. But he has no other option.
