Hi Everyone, I hope that we will be able to keep everyone updated on our trip to Haiti.

The Team:
Dr Cynthia Desoi- Team leader- Cynthia is a Nephrologist with Maine Nephrology in Lewiston. She has been working with Project ESPWA ( Project Hope) in Les Cayes in Haiti for a number of years. It is a orphanage that is about 100 miles south of Port o Prince. There are over 650 children there and at least 100 more on the way from PoP. Cynthia travels to the orphanage about every 3 months to help care for the kids.
Dr Ron Chicoine - Anesthesiologist from St. Marys Hospital in Lewsiton, this will be his first trip to Haiti, he has worked in Hounduras voulentering in the past.
Mona Theriault, RN - Recoveryroom nurse from St Marys, she has been there for 2 years, and has been to haiti last year working with Fonds De Blancs working at a hospital teaching.
Dr. Hector Rosquette - Hand surgeon from Coastal Orthopedics in Brunswick. This is his first time in Haiti, he regularly runs a clinic in Hounduras 2-3 times per year.
Karmen Blacstone, ANP,RNFA - She works at Coastal orthopedics, this will be her first visit to Haiti, but her experience in the Bahamas has proved invaluable already!
Dr. Stephen Katz - (Me)- I work at Coastal orthopedics, specializing in Sports and shoulder surgery. This will be my first visit to Haiti as well.

Today is our travel day we left early from Portland and traveled to JFK in NYC and then on to Nassau, bahamas. We were not able to get a flight to haiti today, but we just found out that we will get a flight at 7 am tomorrow! Everyone is excited and nervous. I hope that we will be able to continue this blog. I guess we will find out when we get there.
Thanks for everyones support and generosity donating supplies.
