Hi All-
Waiting for Porter to return with the van we rented to go to the beach at Jacmel. It is a 3 hour drive over and around the mountains south of Port au Prince, an amazingly beautiful drive with switchbacks and vistas. Yesterday I found out that Davinsky Sajous' mother, Gilberte, has cholera, as well as her niece. He is the little boy Stewart sponsors. I had another 9 year old girl come to the clinic last Monday and I thought she had cholera as well and sent her to the Doctors without Borders cholera camp. So it seems with the rainy season that now cholera has come back to Blanchard. I hope the number of cases remains small.
I worked on the construction project with Porter and Maxime yesterday and sifted cement and hauled cement blocks for most of the morning. I turned a shade darker.
Heading out. Lots of love.
Alison
