A large tarp had been put up providing shade in front of a platform that had been made for the occasion. Everyone was dressed in their Sunday best. Singing and speeches were the order of the afternoon and lots of pictures by the visitors. There were people from the mainland as well as the States who had traveled to LaGonave specifically for this celebration.
Speakers represented government officials, other organizations, patients, staff, missionaries, and churches.
The afternoon was warm and unfortunately before the speeches could be completed a storm blew in off the sea. A meal had been prepared for those in attendance but the storm cause the meal and good byes to be rushed.
