The team have visited Pilate with Dr. Jeanty form Shada clinic to assess and treat some patients with disabilities. We see 11 patients in the clinic and visited 10 patients at their house because they was unable to get out their homes.
We saw a 16 year old girl who had a fever 2 years ago which left her paralyzed. Her vision is very poor and its difficult for her to speak. She was a student in 5th grade before she had the fever. She would love to go back to school but she afraid of her classmates reactions. She along with 4 other patients will be coming to the rehab clinic at Haiti Hospital Appeal.
Pilate has 60000 habitants their water system is good. half of the people get their water from a pipe system connected to a water reservoir, the community put their hands together to get money to buy aquatabs and chlorox for purification. The other half of the people get their water from a water source next to a running river the people use that water to drink, wash their clothes, and to cook. There are water faucets in every part of Pilate but only some of them are function.
The team had given the pastor some soaps to distribute to the community.
