Team Renew Day 4

our fun and frolicking at the beach yesterday we were feeling a bit guilty for indulging in was completely made up for today as our first day seeing patients. When we got to June's this morning, the porch was lined with patients waiting for us--over 30 in all! We saw strokes, brain injury, amputees, some pediatrics with developmental disabilities, and some with orthopedic injuries. The clinic was so busy we didn't even have time for a lunch break as we grabbed sandwiches in shifts. We finished just before 5, and we were a great team thanks to our team work and translators. We did a bit to clean up around the clinic and June's place and sat down to write this before heading back to Seed for dinner, packing, and sleep. Tomorrow, we will head to the hospital in the mountains until Friday. The experience thus far has been amazing and eye opening. The things we take for granted each day are things Haitian people can't even dream of--clean water, access to healthcare, transportation, and basic rights. I hope we can continue to make a difference in those we treat the rest of this week. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
