Hunter is Home for a few days.

Hunter made it home for a few day's. Hunter will leave and go back to PAP with Dr Mark Kuhl's team on Friday the 26th of March.

John Kandel, Beau Durrua and Travis Parker arrived in PAP Haiti to meet up with Martin Schroeder to complete the maintenance which is due on the helicopter.
We are very thankful for John Kandel and his family, Beau Durrua and Travis Parker for flying down to complete the maintenance work.
We are also very grateful to MAF for allowing us to use their hangar facility to accomplish the maintenance on the helicopter.

Martin will fly back to the U.S on Monday to meet up with Hunter and the Kuhls to prepare for the trip back down on the 26th.
We were able to see a few friend's tonight after Hunter's arrival home. The picture is of Hunter and Mrs Leslie (TKA Kindergarten Teacher)

Special request


On monday we received a request from Petit Goave clinic to transport pre mature triplets. One of the three babies was in critical condition, the other two appeared stable. When we arrived we loaded the nurse and triplets in the helicopter. The baby in critical condition had a tube to help the baby breath. I'm not sure whether the tube closed off or came out when the doctor jumped in the front seat and began to open the baby's airway. Once the baby was stable we took off and headed back to the University of Miami Hospital in port Au Prince. The baby in critical condition coded during flight about half way back. Martin and the nurses tried to revive the baby. They kept pumping on the baby's little chest until we landed in Port au Prince. Martin called the guys at MAF to get the hospital staff to meet us at the helicopter. When we arrived we unloaded the babies and rushed them to the UM Hospital tent. The baby which coded in flight did not make it. Today we received word that one of the other two babies had passed away. The third baby is stable and doing well. Love y'all.
Martin and I are doing great.

Water


On Saturday we went to Operation Blessing to pick up a load of food. We delivered part of the load to Jean's Orphanage and the other part to to Terry Fowley's friend Pastor Sentiel.

Pastor Sentiel has a small well on the church property however they cannot drink the water from this well it is not safe. We brought two water filters which produce 15 gallons a day per filter. We will try to bring more filters for other's in his area on our next visit.

The cost for Pastor Sentiel to buy one gallon of safe drinking water is 6 Haitian Dollars. This is about .60 cents U.S

We are doing very well, tell everyone hello for me.

We have a day off today, we will go to Kelico Beach. Look it up on the internet, should be fun!!
I am sending pictures for you to post for the TKA kindergarten classes. Let them know the kids really like the soccer Balls
