Saturday Afternoon Update
Dr. Vanek and I have integrated into the Swiss Team called Star of Hope. They have a logistics team with them that arranges preparation of meals, sleeping area under the stars, cold beverages always available, and they maintain a neat and clean campsite. The Swedes have 2-way radios between the Operating Room and their campsite on the roof of the hospital. They have hot coffee and have lots of unusual snacks. I enjoyed some crackers that covered with Kalles Kaviar (caviar) out of a tube like toothpaste. They also have Kalles Bacon (delicious!) and Kalles Cheese. I also learned that peanut butter is very expensive in Sweden and I scored big when I gave them 4 small jars of Jif.

I was at a fundraiser for Hartville, Ohio Mennonite Church Mission Boys Orphanage in the "Delmas 33 area" of Port-a-prince. We were connected to Haiti by SKYPE and the missionaries Jarred & Jolayne Coblentz, discussed how they were looking for a Plastic Surgeon to save the foot of one of their orphans. They stated that the doctor a "podiatrist" that first saw the boy said he would have to do a transmet amputation or take the foot at the ankle. Because he did not have the skills to due a skin flap procedure. I only mention this, so if you guys are in their area you may be able assist these Cleveland area missionaries.
