Ariel view of Anse-a-Galets, La Gonave Island

At the invitation of ASHOG and with their assistance, we ran our first week of Outreach clinics in remote areas on La Gonave Island, Haiti. Over 4 days we visited Roche Campe, Bwa Boule, Chen Kontan and Morne Augustin. We treated more than 100 patients per day and distributed de-worming medicines and multivitamins to scores more children. At each place the need for medical care was overwhelming. Malnutrition, unsafe drinking water and poor living conditions were at the root of many of the medical problems we saw.
