At 9:30 p.m. our time the crew landed in Santa Domingo.
A little after 6:00 this morning I received another text: In Jimani. It is beautiful, mountainous, green. Pleasant weather. It was a 6 hour drive from San Domingo. Lots of Haitians here with broken bones - in a small hospital, lying in the hallways, lots of pain. More coming from Port-au-Prince, we hear. We are headed to the larger hospital to assess. Biggest problem is lack of orthopedic supplies and pain meds. We are at World Vision headquarters, and will be working out of their hospital tent. But that tent hasn't gone up yet. No security issues so far. No sleep last night. But crew is in good spirits.
