Welcome to Episode 8—the final episode of the third season of An Act of Courage! Over the last seven weeks, Jean Pierre Louise and Jo Ann Heppermann have talked with lots of folks about how capracare’s and PG Rotary’s story began and how they got to where they are today. Now is the time to talk about what is next. While today is the final episode of this third season, it clearly is not the final chapter of this story.

Welcome to Episode 5 – Bringing Cervical Cancer Screenings to Maison de Naissance!

Today, we are talking about Maison de Naissance, a birthing home in Torbeck, Haiti. In the midst of our hope, sometimes despair, and resourcefulness needed to get the capracare project off the ground, by fate, faith, or chance, we learned of another opportunity to bring cervical cancer screenings to another organization. Jean and I are talking with Jim Grant, the Executive Director of the Global Birthing Home Foundation, the funding arm of Maison de Naissance. Jim, welcome!

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!

Welcome to Episode 3—The Highs and Lows of Adversity! So, we’ve talked about our story began, screening methods, and the importance of screening women in Haiti for cervical cancer. Today, laugh and sigh with Jean and Jo Ann as they talk about the challenges they dealt with as capracare and Rotary worked to get this project off the ground. Joining them are two fellow Rotarians from the Prospect/Goshen Club, Dr. Muriel Harris and Sheila Stoke. Sheila, the CPA of the group, was and is the holder of the purse strings; Muriel, a Professor of Public Health with the University of Louisville, convinced the Club that if they found the right organization on the ground in Haiti, they could do this!

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 2 - What We’re Trying to Do and the Science Behind It

In our first episode we talked about how the collaboration between capracare and the Prospect Goshen Rotary Club started. Today we are going to focus on the screening methods used to detect cervical cancer, the science behind it and why it is so important to the women of Haiti. Jean and I are very grateful to have with us two women from Haiti—both of whom are familiar with cervical cancer screenings—and are familiar with capracare. Dr. Helene Nau, a Haitian native and a Family Practitioner, is now practicing in Miami and Broward County and is a member of the capracare board. Dr. Sophia Lubin, a first generation Haitian American, is an OB/GYN practicing in NYC. Dr. Sophia is also a capracare board member.

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 1—The Beginning of Our Story.

Jean and I are thrilled you have joined us. And we have with us today Stacy Bailey-Ndyaie. Stacy is the founder and executive director of Bridge Kids International, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky but with groups of young folks who are doing good work all over the world. Stacy herself was already well schooled in international travel and service by the time she joined the Prospect/Goshen Rotary Club in 2011, which is how I got to know Stacy. And she was there when, in March of 2013, the idea was floated that we, as a Club, could help rein in cervical cancer in Haiti. It was that idea and Stacy’s international connections that eventually led us to Jean in December of 2014.
