Beth's January 2015 Haiti Trip Day 2



Haiti Day 2  Saturday January 24, 2015

Today I spent a relaxing morning at Heartline Ministries house in Port-au-Prince. Then they took me over to the Heartline Maternity Center where they have 3 midwives named Beth,  so I felt right at home. They do about 5-10 births a month at this center and lots of educational visits.   John then dropped me off at Servotel, a fancy hotel in Port-au-Prince to wait for the Midwives for Haiti driver Ronel to pick me up after getting the rest of this week's visitors from the airport. It is a great group especially since the MFH founders Nadene and Dr.  Steve are here too.

We then all got to know each other on the very rough, bumpy, hilly and very nauseating 3 hour drive in the Yukon through the mountains to Hinche.  We were all talkative at first then we spent most of the ride working hard not to get sick despite the anti nausea meds we all took. After letting our stomachs recover,  we spent the evening sorting the abundance of supplies each of us brought along and we took a walk out back of the property to Prayer Hill to watch the sunset.  Unfortunately the Internet was down, so no way to connect home yet.
