January 25th: Saturday
We left the Mission-Haiti compound fairly early as the ride to Port Au Prince is quite long, and we had a stop to make along the way. We stopped by a Pediatric hospital in Cayes, a city closer to Ti Riviere. For obvious reasons, we weren't allowed to take pictures, but what we saw inside this hospital was nothing I could have prepared myself for. It was a big dark room. No indivudual rooms for each patient, just one big room with bed after bed, after bed. It wasn't sanitized like our hospitals, and the patients basically just laid there with a family member sitting by their bedside.
This was outside the entrance.
As we were leaving this pregnant woman walked out, with a catheter in hand.
Again, the ride through Port Au Prince was gut wrenching. The people and filth. Just unbelievable.
The trash littered along the roads was never ending.
We made it to Port Au Prince safely before dark and stayed at a motel near the Air Port.
Lizard!
One final meal with the whole Shalom crew!
We were up early Sunday morning to get to the airport. Thankfully we made it through customs ok and all of our flight connections went smoothe. Until next time.. Goodbye, Haiti.
