Keep Us In Your Thoughts.....
Hubbs and I will be away from the farm for the next week.
We are part of a team of physicians and nurses who will travel to Haiti
to help treat the chronic medical problems resulting from the earthquake....

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit Haiti.
52 aftershocks rocked the country for the next 16 days.
The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere was absolutely devastated.
(Before the quake, Haiti was the 4th hungriest country in the world)
After the quake......hunger is just one of many problems these
gentle people face.

Immediately following the quake, the world responded
with humanitarian aid.
The first wave of medical responders dealt with the multitude of trauma cases.
Sadly, many of those patients died.
Those that lived are still dealing with chronic medical problems....
open wounds, chronic infections, mal-union of fractures, amputations,
head injuries, and so much more.
This trip is the first of many made possible
by a partnering of two humanitarian medical mission groups:
World Surgical Foundation
and
Cure International
Hubbs and I will be working in a hospital in Carrafour,
a suburb of Port-au-Prince, a densely populated area
that was hard hit by the quake.
Please send your thoughts and prayers with us as we
offer our time and skills to those who so desperately need both.
And join us again here at Bee Haven Acres
when we return April 17th with more
Tales From the Farm!
