Welcome to Episode 4 – Hope, Despair & Resourcefulness! We’ve talked a bit about the adversity we encountered to get our cervical cancer screening off the ground—and we promised to tell you the rest of the story! Today, Jean and I are going to talk with Dr. Steve Papillon, the doctor with capracare at the beginning of this saga—and the project manager of the Global Grant for us on the ground in Haiti.  Dr. Muriel Harris is also back with us to help us remember and celebrate the resourcefulness and hope of those dedicated to keeping on!
