Covsky and I had visit clinic of Sante Notre-Dame de Lourdes at Grand-Bassin. It was a clinic 40 years ago and it became a center 21 years ago until now. Only Plan Haiti supports the clinic and they gave them a fund in which 30 percent goes to the worker. The other 70 percent goes into medication and other supplies. There is 1 doctor, 3 nurses,1 dentist and 1 dental assistant. At this clinic, they do a lot of different things like child birth, dental work, etc. In a month, they can received about 300 people and they are open 5 days a week. They would be more grateful to receive volunteers and they have a guest house to house them in. They want the network to help them in receiving more medications and equipments. I have invited the mid-wife to Tom Lacy's teaching class " Helping Babies Breathe".
