S omewhere in Haiti a child is crying. Fetid sewers double as wash basins. Children play in fields that serve as public latrines.
Unchecked disease runs rampant.
Those who survive can expect little education, high unemployment and a short life expectancy. But you can wipe those tears away. You can bring hope to a hopeless situation. You can make a difference between death and survival. Lives are changed forever, including those of the volunteers who make the medical missions work.
