Peltier Hospital in Djibouti

Peltier

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to visit Djibouti's hospital, Peltier on a mission to assist with and repair medical equipment.

Operating Room with U.S. donated patient table

The United States donated two OR tables and one laproscopy tower. I was responsible for ensuring that these items worked.

Fire Fighter Agility Test

Pics of Me doing Fire Fighter Agility Test
This test was lots of fun. We had to complete the course in 6 minutes or less. This involved putting on the fire suit, dragging a fire hose, hitting a tire with a sledge hammer, carrying two heavy baskets and dragging a 200 pound dummy. It was very challenging.
