He did have his bat - tery of immunizations, including a malaria shot. The first day he was there, he was to hand out candy suckers. “Pretty soon the other kids were swarming me, putting the suckers in their pockets and coming back asking for more. I felt uncomfort - able; they just kept on standing there watching me.” One day an orphanage brought its approximately 75 kids of all ages to the clinic. Reese helped distribute lots of vitamins and worming medicine. One kid had the same “symptoms” as the other attention-wanting kids, but the care givers found out he had been bitten by a rat, thus they cared for an extreme infection throughout his leg. “Rats are bad enough in the states,” said Reese. “In Haiti they’ve got to be really bad.” Some kids were scared of Reese, thinking he had metal teeth, until an interpreter explained to them what braces are.
