Follow me (and my group!) as we return to Haiti. This also includes our very own "Flat Ruthie" (Flat Stanley - type character) and her travels both at home and on the island. I hope you can EXPERIENCE HAITI with us as we work, love, travel, learn, listen and grow. Trip dates September 24th - October 1st Please also note the direct links to the organizations we will be working with. Upon my return, I will post photos, video and additional relevant information. SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE!

Yesterday (Wednesday) was a truly amazing day in every sense of the word. After a rather tumultuous day Tuesday, this was even more welcomed! We travelled to Mirabalas (sp?) to visit Paul Farmer's hospital. I have read his books (you can find the links to the side on the webpage). His organization's name is Partners In Health.... And this truly explains his theory of treating people. As a Harvard educated physician who has also studied anthropology, he believes is treating not only the ailment, but digging further into cultural and social economic reasons as to why the individual may have gotten ill and reasons as to why he/she may not readily improve. It ALS happened to be in a beautiful mountainous part of Haiti. Can't wait to share photos and more details.
