CPR Class for our EMT volunteers

We were privileged to participate in a CPR class put on by Heart 911 and Love-A-Child. Our EMT volunteers work hard to safely and quickly transport many people with all types of medical emergencies to hospitals in Port-au-Prince.

Tiboutson, Fernand, Noelgens, and Nerlange learning to do the "log roll" to safely move a patient with a back injury onto the backboard.






Eager learners, Tiboutson, Noelgens, Nerlange, and Fernand.

Mouth to mouth.



A good lunch.

We thank God that our volunteer crew was able to receive this training. Literally hundreds of accident victims, mothers in complicated deliveries, and other people with life threatening emergencies have been saved by our ambulance service. We thank Nelson Letts for donating the van that we use for the ambulance. While we charge a small fee to help cover some of our fuel costs and vehicle repair costs, there are many patients that simply cannot pay. We help these people too, even if they can't pay anything. If you would like to help cover some of the fuel and vehicle repair costs for these patients that cannot pay, please mark your donation as "Medical Relief". Thank-you and God Bless.
