Hands Up for Haiti has created a Global Health Training Program for medical, nursing students and residents in training in family practice, pediatrics, and ob-gyn. Working under the supervision of experienced physicians and nurses, these students and residents are given the opportunity to work in a resource poor country such as Haiti and to participate in research projects and educational programs for the communities we serve.

We are excited to report that Santé Pou Yo clinic is now functioning under its much needed and much anticipated new roof. The timing of this completion coincides with the passing of Hurricane Isaac and the upcoming return of school classes.

Thank you to all of our supporters, including Positive Legacy, The Freemasons of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and Builders’ Without Borders.
