Miscellaneous pictures of our world on the Wesleyan mission station, the nursing school and among the friends we do life with here in Anse-a-Galets, LaGonave, Haiti.
Enjoy!
Friday afternoon discussion on ethics
at the School of Nursing Science, Wesleyan University of Haiti.
Just look at this beautiful Haitian sky!

Miscellaneous bits of supplies and equipment gathered together

More Sturgis Team workers - new tables built for the new pharmacy
(old guest house)
receiving a first coat of paint.
A hospital office door which was made out under a tree on the mission station,

Chef nou
- our boss - Dan Irvine -
meeting with the nursing students for the first time,
speaking encouragement and pride to them.
Toro Time
This traditional event at the end of each workday is highly anticipated!
A debriefing of their days, philosophizing and analyzing the Haitian culture, etc., etc.
"Toro" is Haiti's energy drink version of Red Bull;
when Toro Time began, years ago, Toro was the drink of choice.
Larry says there is a lot of Toro shooting going on there!
Yep, those are "vye twalet yo lopital" that they are sitting on.
Probably don't have to translate that!
Bye for now!
Up next -
pictures of some of the nursing students this week,
observing their first surgery when an ENT doctor from Indiana
removed a large growth from a 16-year old girl's thyroid.
This was a 3 1/2 hour surgery so a dozen of our students were able
to observe - two at a time, staying in the OR for 30 minutes each.
A great experience for them!
(The three who got queasy recovered quickly
and were able to stay the whole time!)
Stay tuned!
