I wanted to write a post already yesterday, but there was again no electricity in the whole evening. So I went sleeping at , what I haven’t done since some years..
Yesterday we brought Guidlande to a hospital. A German, Jan, has written me an email because he had seen the picture of Guidlande. He told me to take her to a hospital in Petionville (Part of the city
Port-au-Prince), because he knows the doctor there and that she will take care of her. So we did that and made a medical check-up. Unfortunately they cannot do much for her. The expired injection that she got with 10 years went into her brain and destroyed a lot. She cannot move many of her muscles, they are simply stuck. But the doctors from the hospital will try to make their best that she will learn again the basic movements. With physiotherapy they will also try to make her walk again. But they can’t promise anything. I’m glad: It’s the first time that I could help a person because of my photography!Yesterday afternoon we thought we could do something good for us too and went to a hotel swimming. We tried to get into it, pretending we were guests, but it didn’t work. So we had to pay… But it was worth it. We had fun! And I didn’t talk about the morning from yesterday. I got up at to go with mike to take pictures of the sleeping street kids. But I think it was already too late, there aren’t a lot on the streets anymore. I will try it again next week..
