This little girl, about 6 years old, has a terrible infection that was treated during Mama Baby Haiti's rural clinic. |
Two out of the three Mama Baby Haiti naturopathic doctors, Sarah and Sean, standing in front of this Grandmother's house. She cares for at least 8 kids and reports she struggles to provide meals. |
These doctors truly care about the community in which they serve and are hard at work. I just spoke to Dr. Sean Hesler this evening, he told me they're swamped with patients and normally have to turn many away. 2 days a week they see children, 1 day adults, and 2 days are reserved for prenatal care. They have a wonderful birthing space for delivering, equipped with the essentials, in case of complications. As they treat patients, they focus on supporting the immune system. Please visit their amazing website and blogs!

I am inspired by their hearts, physical work and their vegetable garden to boot!

Here I am my 1st week in Haiti, with Mama Baby Haiti staff and my excellent interpreter Joseph. |
Sharon, they have a vegetable garden! Maybe they could direct you to some "clean" soil.
ReplyDeleteYes, they said they just guessed what soil was "clean". Perhaps I could somehow have it tested. They just found out they have E. Coli in their well!
ReplyDeleteYikes!
p.s. Mrs. S...thanks for the helpful comment! You're very encouraging and i'm certain to find some good soil soon!
