Team #3 (otherwise known as Team Kravacek!)

Well, Team #3 is finally good to go. I'm not actually sure if this would be called Team #3, or if it should be called Team Kravecek, but either way here is what Patti Kravacek had to say when I asked her about this month's plans:

Laura and I are going down with Dave. Laura is very excited. She keeps saying she wants to spend the summer there. We keep telling her she needs to save for school! 

We are leaving on Tuesday, April 20th and returning on the 27th. We fly out of Ottawa and connect in Montreal to Haiti on Air Canada. The flights are cheap. Around $400 return. Air Canada has a regular flight every tues out of Montreal.

We are joining Michael from Aid For Haiti at the new clinic about 7km from where we were. We have an ER nurse traveling with us. I believe we will be helping Sergei and Dave will be doing building projects and what ever else is needed. It will be a clinic/ER no surgery setting. I believe they would like to get set up for surgery in the near future. Perhaps we will be able to help with this.

We are using this as a scouting mission as well to see if there is any need or possibility of setting something up for people who want to go down in the future. This trip has taken quite a bit of planning on Dave's part. There is no routine for missionaries at this location. As it stands now, we will be sleeping at a school, but that could change any day if they reopen the schools. Then we will be tenting it. Michael's father (he is a director with AFH) will be home from Haiti this week so he will have a better idea of what we will be doing and what we need to take. We are joining the AFH medical team at the beginning of the trip but them we will be on our own as that team is heading into the mountains to run a remote clinic. Sergei is heading home a day earlier than us so we will be without a doc on the last full day there so I'm not sure what we will do that day. Probably clean and organize supplies!!
