Todays update
This mornings update from John D.
John and Adrienne made it to the local hospital in Les Cayes and met Dr. Moses. They delivered the medical supplies and they were very appreciated of them. Dr. Moses indicated that medical supplies were only just beginning to trickle in. They are currently seeing abou...t 1400 to 1500 folks a day who are coming in from PAP.
They then went out to see Pastor Andre’s orphanage and the kids are doing well. Since school is still not back in session, they bought them shovels and pick axes and put them to work cleaning up the grounds and filling in pot holes. The orphanage was to have received a shipment of food and supplies and John and Adrienne went in search of that at the airport and ended up helping unload incoming shipments.
John’s been staying with Adrienne and has been quiet the novelty with locals stopping in at all hours of the night to confirm the rumor that there is a white man sleeping on the floor. I think John's been too exhausted to notice and has been sleeping right thru.
They are off today to meet with Father Marc and then continue to track down that food shipment for Pastor Andre. John is happy to be there and helping out where he can but at the same time his heartaches for the displaced families who are coming in from PAP.
