Saturday was a busy day for the team.
We spend the day doing a mobile medical clinic for the Apparent Project artisans
and their families and a few folks from the adjacent tent city.
The Apparent Project is a non-profit organization dedicated
to helping Haitian residents develop and sell their art in order to support themselves
so that their families can remain together.
This very worthwhile organization is run by
Corrigan and Shelley Clay - empowerers extraordinaire.
We managed to see 120 people that day and were exhausted at the end of it all.
What do an all-female mission team do after a hard day of seeing patients?
Why, we shop! We got to spend a bit of time in a small room with tons of amazing jewelry,
coconut nativity sets, hammered metal crosses, and baskets.
These amazing artists take cardboard, 50 gallon drums, fabric and
lacquer and turn them into real works of art.
