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. What you may not be aware of is that these same people are working from dawn ’til dusk to complete the Peter Y Whitehead Memorial Clinic, so that some day they will no longer need to rely on our medical teams to deliver these same basic services!

Putting the Lid On…

That’s right…the day has arrived for the roof of the future Peter Y Whitehead Memorial Clinic to be poured, or rather lifted bucket by bucket and then dumped and spread. On this island there are no cement trucks pumping concrete through goose neck tubes to the top of a building. The community is getting it done the old fashioned way…the bucket brigade. The end result will be no less beautiful!! Read More

It’s a go!

After ten or more days of being unsure whether we could go on this trip or not because of the unrest in Haiti, we are finally resolved to go on our original schedule. It is Haiti so things could change, but all seems well today.

We have our scheduled “packing party” this Saturday (March 2) so all the donated supplies for this trip need to be ready by then.

In addition, we are excited to announce that Dr. Jessie Pierce, through Staunton Baptist Church of Huddleston, VA, has generously donated vitamins and other supplies to Project Starfish. They will be well received in Haiti.
