Saturday Update from Port Au Prince

Today the team became part of three different teams as the group of relief workers at the Jesuit seminary continues to grow. Pat, Wayne and Rey went to Carrefour to deliver supplies to the L'Arche community there and to see if there were any gaps in medical care. The community, while very damaged, is in good shape. MSF has responded with medical care, the markets are thriving and the major roads are clear of debris. The team had a good visit at L'Arche.

Colleen and Sheila were each on different mobile medical teams in Port au Prince. They set up mobile clinics in three different IDP camps. Each camp is different. Colleen's team treated illness along with ongoing wound care, Sheila's team was dealt primarily with fractures,
infections and wounds. Both Colleen and Sheila are quickly earning their PA (Physician's Assistant) qualifications!

Buildings are still collapsing. It's hard to watch as people struggle to rescue loved ones from the rubble.
