Thanks!
I am ALWAYS "just coming back from"
and "just heading out to" a score of such adventure excursions, and
having just returned from DR/Haiti, I watched it transform the all virgin crew,
as it once did me at the same age and stage‑‑and in the very same
place, just four decades earlier! (see attached)
The excitement of such an
experience in which you can make a discernible difference at an early stage in
a lot of people's lives is contagious. I
will send a second email with the survey I did before and after this
expedition, and will try to let you know when we can gather the returning
students for a presentation to their peers on what they had learned.
I have prepared a packet of
such background to which I will add the pdf when available, and the first to
whom it should be made accessible is you!
If it does not take up too much of your holiday vacation long weekend, I
will forward photo access as well.
I will also send you a Power
Point made by my senior students who had all been with me along a number of
prior excursions when recently we went to the Horn of Africa, which is
beckoning me back now to continue the effort.
You can see the full story in the Home Page http://home.gwu.edu/~gwg
and click on the "On‑Line Journal" in February to read about
Somaliland and Ethiopia.
Or you can back up through scores of Himalayan
missions or five years in operating in Mindanao Philippines, or any of the
other medical missions around the world, profusely illustrated in the photojournalism
which is my habit. If you would like, I
will also send you on‑line album access to many of the last missions
pictures, which I will add in the next email as well.
I look forward to discussing
it further with you and I will turn over a few of the student participants to
interview!
Cheers!

MEDICAL MISSION TO HISPANIOLA‑'04
It may have been worth the
brief wait for the intact report! It has been a very rewarding trip for all
concerned.
I enclose access to some parts of the
photojournalism and attach the completed description of our medical mission to
the DR/Haiti in the time of the island of Hispaniola's greatest natural
disaster in history, superimposed on the poverty of the Western World's worst
poverty.
JIMANI, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Attached you have access to
the first roll from Jimani, Dominican Republic, among the flood and mudslide
victims and refugees at the Haitian border, corresponding to the attached series
Jul‑B‑1‑‑8, a narrative review of our Dominican
experience.
CENTRAL PLATEAU, HAITI
The next roll of film is
from Thumonde, Haiti, including our work in Marmonte District, visits to Cange
and Port au Prince and return to Derwood, corresponding to the Jul‑C‑10
series of narrative description and summary of our work in Haiti.
Thanks for your concern and
participation!
