This is hospital with patients, there is one chap in the operating room and 5 ladies in the other room, they are all victims of the earthquake from Port au Prince and will require long term care.

I leave Haiti tomorrow as I need to go to the Dominican Republic on one bus, mayvbe spend the night in a dubious hotel in Santiago then take another bus to Puerto Plata and the get to the airport for the flight home - so I am not sure when I wi next have internet access so we will see !

These are some of the supplies in the working part of the hospital - the locked cupboards contain the medicines

This is work roaring ahead on the next ward, the Architect thinks it will be finished in 2 weeks !!
