Our first treatment venue, Camp Bob, was one of our favorites and we hoped to end our trip with similar energy. After contacting the woman who runs Camp Bob, we were asked if we would provide acupuncture to another of her four tent camps.
On Wednesday morning we met with an assistant to the mayor, who escorted us to Camp Bel-Air. Like many areas of Haiti, access to this tent city required 4-wheel drive.
Under a large tarp, the camp set up chairs for treatments and the people started to pour in. When the chairs were full, people sat on the cement wall bordering the encampment. We treated patients, non-stop for close to four hours.
When we were packing up our supplies, a group of male leaders (including the mayor's representative), surrounded us and offered us many thanks for coming to Haiti and sharing our medicine.
