Dear Loved ones,
Greeting from Salem, Indiana where I am rounding up my visit of churches this summer. It has been a very blessed time. The activities of the eye clinic in the city of Cap-Haitian continue to evolve very well. Since the beginning of this year to the month of July, the clinic has seeing 6409 patients and has operated on 118 patients. Now due to shortage/lack of Viscoelastic (other names: healon, viscoat, provisc, duovisc, methycellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose), the doctor can not operate. This lack of the critical gel will paralyze the service the eye clinic could render to the needy people.
Thank you for your support without it the eye clinic would not be able to care for its patients.


The hurricane Isaac has left some sorrows in many families. The Haitian web site Metropole gives this statistics:

24 persons dead
3 persons missing
42 hurts
1005 homes destroyed
6040 homes damaged



Please continue to remember Haiti in your prayers.

Yours,

Nzunga & Kihomi

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

We are searching everywhere for a solution to this problem of the surgery gel.  If you know anyone who could help please have them contact me.

 

Please pray that the victims of Isaac will be able to recover quickly.  We all know it could have been much worse put that doesn’t help those who were affected to feel better.

 

In His Name,

Dennis Shewell
