Our brief visit draws to a close. Most of us just landed in Miami, tired, excited, our heads spinning. A handful of our nurses (Hannah, Sally, Agnes, and Lyn) are staying for a second week, so they will mind the patients in the ward today and through the night.

Hello again! Just as I hit ‘send’ last night, our team found out what it is like to have the only 24/7 hospital in this area of ‘Ayiti’.
