The Southwest Medical Group Plastic Surgery team from Washington State have returned to Hopital Adventiste for a second tour of duty. Follow their progress on the Behind the Lens blog written by team member Matt Schoolfield. The following is a brief excerpt from his most recent post:
Saturday morning we arrived to Port Au Prince. All of us eager to begin the work we did soon before in May. Seeing the tent speckled landscape from the air was not a surprise. It was a temporary solution for displaced Haitians and is now a permanent fixture. As is the half destroyed buildings teetering on collapse. People congregate below, inside or on top of these Romanesque ruins oblivious of the impeding danger. One hard rain could mean another trauma victim.
