Day 4

Wednesday:  Another day of clinics.  This time we worked a lot more cattle!  No shoots in Haiti, so we tied the cows head to trees and worked fast.  Some memebers of the group (not me) had a few close calls on kicks but we all made it out unharmed. I also had the opportunity to castrate a goat and clean a wound on a donkey from where the owners had sliced with a machete when the donkey had gotten into the garden. While we worked on cattle the kids from the village all gathered around and we had the opportunity to play and give them gifts.  This afternoon and tonight we are relaxing back at the guest house after three long days of showing Gods love to the people of Haiti.  

Day 3

Tuesday:  We held a clinic at the Citidal, which was a fort the Haitians built after their indepence from France in the 1820's which is now a tourist attraction.  They have recently started to have horse back rides to the top and the horses were in bad shape.  Luckily with Dr. Kelly's help they are in much better shape.  We revaccinated and dewormed the horses, as well as more cattle, goats and chickens.   In the afternoon we traveled to a nearby orphanage to spay a dog and cat.  One of the other girls and I spayed the cat, who ironically was owned by a couple who were missionaries there originally from Sutton!!
