What a productive and wonderful day we all had in Jacmel. We started early this morning walking to the school of Nursing in Jacmel. It is called Notre Dame. It is right by our building site. We met with Father Saveur. He will be assigned to the school full time while St Michelle Church is repaired from the earth quake. Rick and Barb gave a lecture to the nursing students about Nursing Assessment of the Child. The Iowa Lake Nurses also introduced themselves and will be presenting lectures through the week, next week. Our whole group had a meeting with the nursing Dean, Assistant Dean, Vice President and Father Saveur we reviewed how we can work together to assist in the educaiton of nurses and relationship with LOVE Takes Root Medcial/Dental Clinic. It was a very successful meeting with a lot of discussion.
In the afternoon we split into groups. Tony, Breanna, Rick and Barb hiked into the moutains to visit Papa and James. It was a strenuous hike but everyone did very well. We enjoyed our time learning about all the foods to eat in the mountains and enjoying time sitting in the silence.
Doug spent the day in Caye Jacmel learing more about the Luke Society there, as Rick and Barb sit at dinner we have not seen him yet. I am sure he has had an amazing day and will have many stories for me to blog!
The students are all set for their week in Jacmel. They will be working at the building site, teaching nursing students and assisting in the CCH primary care clinic. Rick and Barb feel like they have given a good orientation to the nurses. And wish we could stay longer!
Oh good news here is Doug, He did have an amazing day. God Is GOOD. We are blessed!
Grateful, Barb
