TR helps build CTC at Cavaillon
Our mission in life today was to finish up the Cholera Treatment Center (CTC) in the town of Cavaillon. Working side by side with the logistics coordinator Eric from the IMC, we completed most of the project today. The new CTC will be able to house approx. 45 patients. It is not the largest one around, but it will have a special chlorine pump (courtesy of GOULDS PUMPS via John Long) that will treat the waste water as it is discarded, That’s a pretty big deal! John Long worked very hard with Eric to draw up blueprints for the new CTC and plan out the execution. The site will also have chlorinated water pumping to various wash stations so that people entering and exiting the CTC can disinfect themselves. Although this isn’t the typical TR mission, we have shown that we are capable of accomplishing many diverse tasks that come our way. Below are some pictures of what the city looks like, the new CTC and our wonderful TR ladies sitting around and watching us work…. I am gonna catch heat for that comment by the way. 
In reality, our TR ladies have put forth a 100% effort in every task thrown there way. Bar none the best. Can you tell I am proud???

Haha.. work? nah.. I went to Haiti to sing Old Macdonald (in French!) with the pedi patients. The little girl next to me (in the pretty pink dress) is a discharge patient from Cavaillon. The Doc (on my right) and I were glad to see her feelin better after a few days in the CTC. (Sam walks his goats in Haiti…just sayin). Thanks for the support everyone!
