Trip Organizer: Nancy Frana R.N.

Trip Participants: Paul Scholl DDS; John Brusky MD; Patty Brusky RN; Ann Brophy PT, Haiti Project Steering Committee Co-Chair; Mary Alice Eschweiler, Haiti Project Steering Committee Member; Danielle Brusky; Lindsey Kaiser

We drove through Port-au-Prince to see major buildings post earthquake including the Episcopal and Catholic Cathedrals, tent neighborhoods and the Presidential Palace before heading to Jeannette. On the way to Jeannette, we picked up Dr. Dr. Buthler Brice, a Haitian dentist from Jeremie who would be working with Dr. Scholl. We arrived to a warm welcome in Jeannette and met with a plumbing issue (unresolved by the local plumber). Luckily, our talented American dentist solved what ended up being simple issues.

July 2011: Fr. Andy Jones - St. Andrew's Madison - speaks about his first trip to Haiti: "I am so grateful for the opportunity to travel to Haiti and to visit with our partners in Jeannette. I am excited about the reception that we received and the clear value that the people of Jeannette place on our partnership. I am glad to have spent a day accumulating red dust and clay on my clothes as we worked to inventory construction and school supplies. I appreciated the chance to walk around Jeannette with the people who live there, hearing their stories and listening to their questions about life in the US. And I am glad to have met the children, in their school uniforms on the last day of school, as they and their parents celebrated the accomplishments of another year.
