October 31: Treating, no tricks





Halloween today--my costume is that of a wild haired woman. I spend a few minutes exploring the outer reaches of camp. The Colombians seem to be celebrating Halloween in style.


The sea of vehicles make me wonder why it is so difficult getting cars for our program. But then that is a good sign--it means that we are all working hard, heading out into the community.


My signature 1.3 kg bag of M&Ms makes the rounds. M&Ms might not be Belgian chocolate but they survive most mission conditions!


Here in Haiti, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are holidays. While I am working, the rest of the world is on slo-mo. Stores are closed and national staff are off, yet I still managed to put in a good 16 hour day. I welcome Ron, a compatriot here to work on the health promotion. Tomorrow, 2 more Canadian delegates are showing up. The 4 Canadians will dominate the federation' cholera outbreak management team. Just hope we do good.
