Workin’….. 🎶 5 to 9 🎶

As you all likely realize, our late May team was grounded weeks ago due to the current pandemic, and we are very saddened that we are unable to deliver needed healthcare services to our friends and residents of Ile a Vache.

The generator did cut off at 6:00 and the team began stirring. There was still some question about our expected departure time from the island, but in fairly short order Timizou informed Leon that we would be wise to depart right after breakfast to avoid heavy winds and rough seas, so the team ate quickly, loaded the truck with luggage and reluctantly set off down the familiar path to the boat launch. It was time to go but it gets no easier to say goodbye… Read More
