Fall 2012 Network Meeting highlights

We held the 12th Network business meeting at the beautiful conference room of Hotel Christophe on Wednesday Oct 17.  There was supposed to be manifestations in the street that cut down on some attendance, but we were happy to welcome 35 or so attendees, including dignitaries such as DSN/MSPP cholera coordinator Dr. Romel (pictured), who spoke to the group with an update on that serious problem.

We were also glad to welcome local dignitaries including journalist Cyrus Sibert and Commissar Ferney Saint Juste from the Haitian National Police.

Our own Network Support Team members Juline and Covsky received certificates of completion of their pharmacy tech course given by pharmacist Oreste Volcy from Beraca Clinic in Port de Paix.

There was also a special power point presentation by Meike Schleiff and Snarly Colas on the great work they have been doing in La Souffriere with the GROW Project.
