Back in Roatan

Hi Everyone,

Back in beautiful Roatan for a month of warm caribbean breezes. We arrived safe and sound with all our luggage and no hassles.
We visited the Vessels of Mercy Hospital in French Cay. They are only open when a team of doctors and nurses come to the island and bring medicines with them.
Thanks to a Canadian Medical Aid Programme we were able to donate some needed pharmaceuticals. The next team will arrive in April and this donation was very much appreciated. The last team was seeing 150-200 people just in the morning.
The Infant Care Center in Sandy Bay is very quiet at the moment. Only Baby K is still with them. All the other babes have been returned to birth families or placed with forever families.
Steve has connected with the e learning center in Sandy Bay. This is an after school center that helps the local kids through a focus on education.
He is coaching 24 of the local kids in karate. The class is on the beach as there is no other suitable space. The kids are loving it!
There is a Children's Home located across the road from our cabana. Steve is also going to begin a few classes for them as well next week.
Today is the Ladies Luncheon. Once a month this luncheon is a fundraiser for a different organization that assists with local causes.
I'm off for a beach walk and a little yoga at the dock.

Stay Well,
Karen and Steve
