Now moving away from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo). We were restricted of course to one side of the island, with a few rules that we had to obied by. No going out alone, be back on ship by midnight, no public intoxication of course, and the best of all NO PICTURES... Grrrr
It was nice to see another or part of another naval base. We all had time to go by the NEX and buy them out of everything that would could ask for while we are out here so that helped. I guess I could have gotten another thing or two of powered french vanilla creamer though. lol
I'm sure I'll find pictures of Gitmo somewhere if I look hard enough.... Maybe next post I can pull some off.
We did have some great or yet amazing work that was conducted on this trip. Our Embarked Seabee's redid some roofs for churches and schools, our medical and dental team to include an army medical team seen over 10,000 patients during the 10days we were at Port De Paix.

It's everything you see on TV and then some. Those who literally can not help themselves, no health care at all, no real potable water like we have, no sewer system, and really the whole nine.

With such organizations as:

Project Hope, RN Response Network, The Greitens Group Foundation, Give a Kid A Backpack, and the Baptist Health of South Florida are all contributors to our mission.

These people from all over the US join here aboard the Uss Iwo-Jima and spend long days to be on the shores to help people learn proper sanitation, general health, and many more topics on how to live longer. So many more things to come as our next stop is Covenas, Colombia and this time I'll have a camera to upload some personal shots of the area that surrounds us while we are out here and things we are doing to help some of those in need here on Continuing Promise 2010.
