Why return to Républica Dominicana in February 2009?

As you may know or may have read on these very pages, Chris went on a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic last February. He is returning this coming February. Recent hurricanes have battered the island, with flooding finally occurring after Hurricane Ike. Flooding will only bring about more disease, distress, and general uneasiness to Barahona. How could a return trip NOT be taken to help out in any way possible?

Here are some of the places Chris went to 7 months ago, and what they look like as of just a few days ago. Click to enlarge.
