TULSA, OK -- A team of Tulsa doctors is back home Monday after spending 10 days in Haiti. 

The doctors are part of a non-profit group called 'In His Image,' based in Tulsa. They have been helping earthquake victims, providing medical assistance in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince. 

They arrived back in Tulsa Sunday night and were greeted by family and friends at Tulsa International Airport.

Members of the group say despite all the horrible conditions in Haiti, the residents are moving forward and trying to rebuild their lives. 

"They are such an incredibly resilient people; even before the earthquake they had plenty of problems. But the earthquake just magnified that, but when you look and see a tent city with 10,000 families, just all put together from whatever they could scrape around and dig up, they were surviving," said Joel Leitch. 

Twelve members from 'In His Image' are heading to Haiti to relieve the group that just returned and continue the work. 

There are also other teams lined up for the future and more will head to Haiti in the coming weeks.
