Joanne Kimball, Public Information Coordinator, and many members of the mighty Team Five met for a reunion dinner in Stamford, CT on May 9. Present were nurses Theresa Norris, Gertrude Plaza, Geraldine Baptiste-Anderson, Laura Maycock, Stephanie Tillman and Marleine Salomon. The Pharmacy was represented by Eric Heininger and Joanne.
Joanne reports, "It was wonderful to be with friends we feel we've known forever (though Stephanie kept remarking in awe, "Everyone looks so clean!") and share stories of our amazing time in Haiti (though ALL concurred that the roosters had to go). We all expressed our desire and commitment to go back and continue to work with the people we came to love in our little neighborhood of Waney in Carrefour.
"A highlight of the evening was when Geraldine and Gertrude graciously presented each of us with a lovingly prepared photo album that showcased the clinic and a field trip taken to Petion Ville. You twins rock!
Joanne Kimball reported to the group that "plans are every much underway to rebuild École le Bon Samaritain, including a healthcare clinic. And while it will take some time to complete the initial plans and raise funds, there is no doubt that we will accomplish our goal. So keep checking our blog for updates as we move forward!"
