Team Renew Day 2:
Today we woke up early and had breakfast waiting for us at 8 am. We enjoyed eggs straight from the farm outside, as well as homemade juice and peanut butter. Madame Max arrived and we were able to taste test her homemade goodies and purchase the items we enjoyed. All the items she makes go to a great cause to help support her, her husband, and their five children ranging in age from 2-20. We then left with June to load up the land cruiser with supplies that had just been shipped in on a large cargo box. We even got to help unpack June's long awaited oven to fabricate prostheses for patients. Jenny, JoAnn, and I stayed at June's apartment/clinic and unpacked our bags of supplies
that were brought with us while Geoff left with June and Harold to go pick up one more load of
supplies. We hung out around June's new apartment today as the electricians were here to help install her washer/dryer, and water purifer. In the process June recieved word that they had broken her pipe line and all her water was spraying out the side of her home. We placed buckets to try and catch as much as possible. We then enjoyed a wonderful lunch of some sort of pulled meat sandwich and fruit. The four of us then took Berkley, June's dog, on a nice walk to the beach. After, Berkley being chased by a few stray dogs we returned to June's apartment. I made two ring splints for June's mallet finger and a custom wrist splint to help with her likely ligamentous injury. Geoff determined what was wrong with June's saw. Jenny attempted to set up June's new Iphone, and JoAnn kept us hydrated with great drinks. June decided to take us out to dinner. We put on our bathing suits and made our way to La Cayenne Hotel. After ordering, we took a dip in the pool while waiting for our food to arrive. We enjoyed grilled lobster, conch, plantains, and french fries. June took us back to SEED and we enjoyed our nice cold showers.

P.S. Geoff wanted to make sure everyone knew the hot sauce at dinner was "Louisiana" brand--he was proud!
