Helping Hands

Got word early this morning that my upcoming Sunday AM flight back home was cancelled so I scrambled to find a flight midweek.  Late for worship, I was met at the front door to the chapel by one of the nurses shouting that a newborn was coding over in the pediatric ward.  I hollered to Tim and Scott inside and we all ran over to help.

The photo above says it all, many hands pitched in attempting to save the little fella's life.  Our efforts were initially successful but he passed on a few hours later.  But the image remains symbolic of Hopital Adventiste's "team effort" volunteer mentality.  I would like to introduce you to a small sample of some of the "helping hands" who have pitched in to get the job done during the past week.
