Taking over the reigns

Team 6 will hopefully be home safe tonight. We are all extremely indebted to each of the Team 6 members for making the transition so successful. We humbly took over the reins of a well-oiled machine and will do all we can to make you all proud. This is an amazing place. The highs and [...]
Making contact and gaining connections
February 26, 2010
Hello from Haiti. We are well and happy to have team 6B here with us. We have had a lot of trouble with communications and the internet service has been down for the last few days. We continue to be busy, averaging 6-7 surgeries per day, with many times more injuries that are seen in [...]

The atmosphere is quite surreal – to drive through town, see crumbled buildings and tent cities then arrive at the beautiful mission. The teams before us [...]
