Pledge not to dither
For some unexplained reasons, I became closer and closer to the Haitian people as I worked alone without the international or the Haitian Government support with those different communities throughout the country. I travelled extensively in the different Departments and dispatched Mobile Clinic teams everywhere there was a need or a request. I was focused in one or two target areas, mainly in the West. However the more I travelled the mountainous tropical land from far North East to the South, the more I realized that the country was plagued with a striking poverty, killing slowly these resigned natives.
I began to see the country somewhat differently than I did before and the people began to see me to some extent differently as well and the questions began. Are you some kind of a candidate? Only a candidate will go to the extent of doing what I was doing, I was often told. Politic, I often replied, was not my strong suit, nor my interest, but social was.
My social life as I see it was a calling, not a choice. I could not possibly deviate from it unless it was a continuum of the wishes of the great divine.
