hi Judy, we had very productive trips to Pestel dr. David and myself, thanks to everyone cooperating together especially getting the assistance from Volker and Coreen at Grass Roots United. We also met with Dr. Philip and Dr. Ben Fredrick in Port this week and did an intensive interview that has been excepted by USA Today to bring. attention to the Pestel area and the needed hospital etc, With Gods help, Dr, Schoering and all of us are going to commit our efforts there this year as much as possible. Thought you would like some of the inf. We gathered. We must continue to send needed meds and IV fluids etc, as there is still a very high infection rate that continues to spread. Thank God for the medical tent set up in Cymete. Thank you Judy for all you do to assist and help so many people.Miriam
Love has no borders

Judy~Cholera has gone into the Pestel area. Dr. Phillip needs medications at the Pestel clinic that services the 52 villages. He needs antibiotics, IV fluids, set ups, pain medications and any other available supplies. Planning to be in Haiti at the end of the month. Blessings, Miriam
