My first experience in Haiti has given me incredible insight to ways we are capable of helping others who live in such poverty. Traveling to clinics and meeting those who live here makes me realize what can happen to a society who is dealing with poverty, little resources, destruction, and a sense of being forgotten. I feel that our work here has been very beneficial. Just the simplicity of being a caring presence has been very rewarding for me. Giving these children and families the chance to see a doctor and have medicine we would have access to immediately in the US is amazing yet very frustrating.
Amy Fisher gives a child a dose of medicine that will clear the worms out of her belly.
Groups like Mission Manna have created a sustainable way to care for these children who lack basic resources. The connections I have felt with the culture have gone beyond my expectations. This experience has provided me with an appreciation for those who give themselves so readily to such a cause, and has brought out a more focused desire to continue my personal contribution to Haiti. There is so much to do here, and our attention to Haiti is critical to their future.
