the work that is done on a day to day basis in haiti especially at the birthing center is impossible without our haitian staff. we have 6 housekeepers and 9 nurses. they run the day to day clinic and birthing center. i know they can become discouraged, life is hard in haiti. every day they are faced with challenges, they have mothers come who have no money to even buy food or don't bring anything with them such as sheets and baby clothes. our staff at northwest face each day with such grace. i am so grateful to them, so we had appreciation parties the last week i was there.
the above picture is of the housekeepers and the below picture is of some of our nursing staff. they loved to just be able to be together, to eat cookies, to get a small gift, but most of all i think they cherished being told they are appreciated. they truly are women who have taught me so much in life, i was grateful to be able to show them in a small way the great contribution they make!
