No, not heading to Haiti yet.
I am going sept 18-oct 2.

It looks to be an incredible experience. The hospital where our group is situated has no running water. You fill up large containers from an outside tap to bring inside. Good thing I have strong upper body for a woman!

I also very much like that the group I am volunteering with is teaching native haitian student midwives. You know, give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime....
Haiti has the worst maternal mortality rates in the northern hemisphere.
And that was BEFORE the earthquake. Things have worsened since.

Mosquito netting and DEET are requirements to bring.
Not much skiing there though. :D
