Church on Sunday
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Haitians making charcoal. Really in just a random spot they find acceptable to do so.
On a hike, the Plattner boys waiting for the rest of us to catch up.
The hiking crew Sunday afternoon, L to R: Dr. Lee Klopfenstein, Kurt Plattner, Toby Plattner, Kayla Eberhart, Jared Klopfenstein, Hadley Plattner (the red baseball cap in the back), Kara Eberhart, Reggie Plattner
The Hydro, source of electricity for the hospital.
Proof that I did cliff jumping in Haiti.
On our way back up, Dr. Lee pausing to let the cows pass.
We huffed and puffed on our "hike." But really we were just passing through an open backyard. This was just a walk taken multiple times a day by the Haitian to bring their livestock to the water at the bottom of the ravine.
Open backyard indeed. Do you see the white spot at the top right on the far ridge? That's the Klopfenstein's house and for reference, our starting point.
Kara and Kayla Eberhart and myself. Post cliff-jumping/hike.
Jimmy's bees. (Jimmy is the hospital's PT department.)
Fresh honey. The bees still crawling on it. We chewed up the honeycomb and gave the wax back to Jimmy.
The lookout up the mountain from the hospital.
The lookout. You can see the ocean on the left of the horizon.
Helicopter landing zone when it was necessary to fly the patients in for the hospital. Now the community soccer field.
View from Klopfenstein's rooftop.
Wednesday evening services on Klopfenstein's roof. (The house looks crooked because I lined up the photo with the tree. whoops!)
General Surgeon, Dr. Rony Lubrisse, at Hopital Lumiere. He was the one that I bugged with my million and one questions. Yes, you should feel sorry for him. I definitely do, but he was very gracious and answered them with patience and to the best of his ability.
Shiela Moser took us girls for a ride through the countryside in the Gator!
On our trip up and over the mountain, then down the otherside towards the valley area of Plaisance. Just two points of explanation: at 0:09 the camera turns back towards little kids up at the top that had been running after us yelling and waving. at 1:43 the camera turns back towards a goat that had been bleeting not seen due to the sun.
That is a corn field. A random spot where some dirt was found. Hand planted corn stalks amidst the natural vegetation.
Our trip through the countryside brought us to many spots where the river crossed the road. One such location also happened to be where a group of boys choose to swim.
The countryside of Plaisance down in the valley was much flatter than that of Bonne Fin up in the mountain.
Growing rice.
Water pumps placed over many years of teams traveling into the countryside of Haiti to provide fresh water.
And where there's no pump: a pipe tapped into an artesian water source from which water continually dribbles filling a bucket and then causing a stream which runs along the ground and down the mountain past the houses whose inhabitants use it as their water source.
Returning to Bonne Fin, a view of the hospital from the back.
Kayla and Kara Eberhart and myself.
Much Love.
