Yesterday Dr. Carroll and I went to Cite Soleil at centre de santé Rosalie Rendu runs by a group of catholic nuns. He works at this Clinic down there when he comes here in Haiti, he gives medical care to many people especially the kids. He took time to explain me what he was doing. He was seeing children that have malnutrition.
The nuns have a nutrition program there, and they receive at least 60 children. Wow this is an interesting program. They feed, and bath them every day. They are also providing matters to their mothers so that they could learn in order to have a profession in life. This clinic is saving the lives of the children in cite soleil.
Then we moved for a little bit time to centre hospitalier Saint Catherine Labouré which is the hospital for all the people in this zone. I visited a room of nutrition fed by UNICEF, 14 kids drink 5 pots of milk a day. UNICEF uses Nutriset F-75 to feed them. The case of malnutrition surrounds Haiti deeply, in fact the children don’t have enough to eat. There are a lot children who suffer by malnutrition here. They don’t have opportunity to eat even a piece of bread by day.
The idea to accompany Dr. Carroll to go to Cite Soleil was very important for me. It was a wonderful experience for me. My heart was touched by what’s going over there. Indeed it was so sad to see how life goes down there, Haiti is very sick. Thanks Dr Carroll. Haiti loves you.
