2004-05-24, What Haiti Teaches: Starving children don't respond to military firepower. Only one dusty track leads from Port-au-Prince through the mountains to the town of Thomonde and its outlying villages, which together have a population of about 35,000. That 'road' is so rough and strewn with so many sharp rocks that flat tires are inevitable. But at least vehicles can traverse it. The villages outside of Thomonde are accessible only by foot, horse, or motorcycle. To get basic healthcare information and services out there, Medishare trains some of the villagers to detect signs and symptoms of sicknesses such as malnourishment and dehydration. These workers are also trained to dispense desperately needed vaccinations against tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, and measles.
