Just wanted to update you all quickly. I have had a few friends email with concern about the cholera outbreak in Haiti. The outbreak is no where near Anse-a-Pitre; there have been no reported cases here so far. The government on both sides has been doing lots of education campaigns around both towns; for example trucks with loud speakers broadcasting information about cholera are being parked in public places and posters are being put everywhere. The border has been shut off and on, but, like before, it is not affecting our work at all.
Having said that, the reason I am up so early is that Ashley and I are travelling to Santo Domingo via bus this morning. We are going to be staying there for a few days then on Monday will be travelling on to Port A Prince to stay with some friends just outside the city (not near the cholera area) for a bit. We have been planning this for some time and are really looking forward to it. We plan on using all precaution in our travels! We have been in contact with both bethels and have not received any warnings to not travel. I will try to post something if I get a chance when we are there.
Also, some have been wondering when we will be getting back... well that date is fast approaching!! We will be stateside as of December 1st:)
With Love To All!
