Sun in Haiti – Day 3

Day Three, January 22nd

The day begins early in Haiti at 5am when the sound of the Haitians’ singing permeates the air. They sing songs of encouragement to each other to press on and not give up. Sun describes their positive attitude simply as ‘amazing’.

At 7.55am, an aftershock struck. It was short but strong anĀ estimated 6 on the Richter Scale. At 8.05am, a second aftershock struck.

Sun visited the Haitian press and spoke with families that lost their homes that the world sees their suffering and wants to help. She told them that doctors and nurses from around the world are coming to help alleviate their suffering.

The day is a fruitful one and in all the team perform over 100 surgeries on injured Haitians, however there are still many that need help. This can be seen from the massive crowd waiting outside the makeshift medical base, trying to get in to seek medical treatment.
