Haitian staff lauded

All who have had the opportunity to work with Jacmeliens can attest to their talent, compassion, and charm. Their dedication to the FOTCOH mission is not questioned and their importance to this organization cannot be overstated. Tasks big and small are completed thoroughly and enthusiastically by Haitians who have been a part of the FOTCOH family for years.

While seasoned FOTCOHers report that Wednesday was a typical day at the clinic, for first-timers like myself and Jan Sickbert (from rural Argenta, Illinois) each day is a full of new experiences. Jan reports being humbled by the patience of our patients. Many wait all day and night to be seen. It was a great shock to me to see people camping over night outside the stone wall which surrounds FOTCOH HQ. 

Thankfully Pharmacist Bob Hoy shows nightly movies for neighborhood children and those waiting for tomorrow’s clinic. “Cinema Bob” aired “Charlotte’s Web” tonight.
