What follows are forty plus pictures. Most all of them were taken by our medical volunteers during their one week "tour of duty." The first half of the pictures show the nearly complete devastation of certain parts of Port-au-Prince. (Near the Heart to Heart major clinic in the Bel Aire district of Port-au-Price. In fact, the rubble is getting so deep in certain areas, that I am beginning to refer to Port-au-Prince as "Port-au-Rubble." These first pictures are followed by several pictures of the "tent cities" that are all over the city. The last pictures show our Heart to Heart clinics, our volunteers, and some slides of our Heart to Heart Volunteer Center, where are long and short term volunteers live. By the way, the very first picture is a map of Haiti, showing where the areas of Port-au-Prince that were hardest hit."
The Road to Fondwa
This video shows how difficult it is to drive the mountain road from Port-au-Prince to our Heart to Heart clinic at Fondwa. Our teams go there each Thursday. I, personally, travel there twice each week on average. Fondwa is Heart to Heart's largest partnership outside of the capital.
This video shows our largest Heart to Heart clinic. It is located in the Bel Aire section of Port-au-Prince. When we have a full staff, we utilize 7 MDs, 4 RNs, plus a support staff of nearly two dozen, interpreters, security personnel, etc. This clinic sees approximately 250 to 300 patients each day, six days each week. You will see a group of people walking down the stairs from the third floor to the second floor. These are Post Traumatic Stress Disorder patients. There are nearly 100 of them. All having lost family members, homes, jobs....and they share one thing in common: they are sleeping in the streets of Port-au-Prince. At the end of this video you will see a man in green scrubs, his name is Bill Dawson, he is Heart to Heart's Medical Director in Haiti. The people in red shirts, are Heart to Heart medical volunteers.
