Opening Day!

                             Well, the tile boss was right!  

Dawn broke over LaGonave and we were ready!

Front door to the nursing school.

The building was spic and span and ready to welcome the first class!

Hospital administration, medical personnel, missionaries, community and church representatives

gathered for the early morning ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication, officially opening 

The Wesleyan University of Haiti

The College of Nursing Science

One of several speakers at the dedication ceremony, Dr. Monush was a Compassion-sponsored child throughout school,  who came home after med school to serve her community.
She heads up HIV research and care at the Wesleyan Hospital.

Moments after the ribbon cutting!  Much hooting and clapping!  Pretty exciting!
