Images of Haiti
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Last night, for the first time since leaving the island, I had my first dream about Haiti. In the dream, I'm trying to help build a new clinic in a dusty rural area, but it's hard getting supplies, there's no running water, and it's hard to build things faster than they fall apart.

And they say dreams aren't realistic.

Here's a slideshow of pictures from my Haiti mission. If you've followed this blog, you'll know I've described the scenes in each slide. My descriptions were graphic. The pictures, of course, are even more graphic, so please don't open them if you find it hard to look at medical photos.

I have been to Haiti 7 times. I was in Haiti in at the beginning of February in the rural area of Cayes, in the south west coast. Your pictures are great in displaying what medical conditions are like in Haiti.
