Yes thank you.
Have him join us at the Episcopal Haiti Connection conference in Miami!
Would be great if he could come there and to The Haiti Connection's conference
in Raleigh on April 21, too!

Am in DC to meet with Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) immunization
specialist. Their warehouse stores all the vaccines in PAP. Want med teams to be
able to pick up vaccines in PAP and take the to MSPP commune physicians and
nurses to use during medical clinics ie Dr Parnell and the Leogane/Darbonne
nurses.

Best to all and thanks for all your work,
Bonnie
