Give us this day...


Our daily bread is prepared in a garage but that doesn't alter the taste one bit. There's nothing like a fresh, hot roll straight out of the solar oven !!

Medical Mission


Folks waiting to be seen. The mission was set up with several stations: registration, triage, consultation, pharmacy, laboratory and surgery. Hundreds of people will be seen daily. What a terrific gift to the people of southern Haiti.

Mission Commander

The driving force behind the Athens Medical Group Mission is Doctor Michael Blood. He has coordinated all aspects (from the fund-raising, packing of supplies, enlisting volunteers, buying inflatable mattresses...). He is seen here overlooking the waiting lines of Haitians.

Jean-Will

Jean Will was released from the hospital today and came to LaMadonne. We'll be making sure he eats and drinks all the right stuff as he requires a special diet. He's much better though his back still hurts him. No, he's not a happy camper just yet but that will come.

Joey

Joey Lamarre, pictured here, made the top five in a competition for entrance into the finest private medical school in Port-au-Prince. This was out of 2,593 applicants. Bravo, Joey!! It is no surprise to those who know Joey. What is extraordinary is that he is always available for work details or working with the younger children, has time to write a book of poems and teach the altar servers, sings in the choir... He wrote, directed and starred in a play last spring. He is a great model for the younger boys and girls.
