Lessons from Haiti
– Smile, you’re alive
– Make do with what you have
– Share generously
– Be grateful for your neighborI was honored to serve with a team of Haitian community homeopaths in the aftermath of hurricane Matthew. In early October Matthew de-roofed & leveled structures & trees in an enormous area with 150+ mph winds and up to 40″ rain in southwest Haiti.
You may have seen the news, the many photos, and heard that the UN is at work, but on the ground, far too little aid has reached those in dire need, yet the people have such love for their neighbors & so much resilience in the face of catastrophic losses.
Those that have little feed those with less. We saw tidy clean interiors of homes with no possessions or roofs, amidst scenes that were other-worldly. The HWBteam is treating emotional & physical trauma as well as many cases of diarrhea and infectious illness from lack of clean water and shelter.
Over 200 patients have been seen each clinic day since day 14 after the hurricane made landfall. In every location throngs of people line up in the early morning, well before the clinic begins. There has been an outstanding collaborative effort between local Haitian doctors, homeopathic communitaire and Homeopaths Without Bordersstaff & volunteers to deliver multidisciplinary care to those in need.
These disaster-related clinics are ongoing and will continue on a daily basis through mid-November. However, the real work of HWB is to continue to train Haitian medical personnel and birth attendants to respond in areas in which they live and work. This requires funding due to the economic condition of Haiti.
If you are unable to attend the concert but would still like to donate to train a Haitian medical person or birth attendant for the upcoming class beginning in Jan 2017 please click the button below. And thank you – every little bit helps!
