Later Friday Afternoon -- After Surviving the Air Conditioned UN Lady

Leaving Clusterfuck Building 60f I checked in with some of the other relief groups. There is a Florida group from Dade County Hospital and the University of Florida that has a field hospital near the airport and I will be able to work there.

I also met an incredible French team from Bambou Generation that does low-tech housing and structural design with bamboo. They have plans for a medical clinic (contingent on guess what -- supplies) as well as emergency housing, public buildings, and sanitation. Wonderful, high energy people in spite of it all.

These people are remarkable.
