Haiti June 2010: Clinic Scouting Trip Home!
Posted by kate under: Haiti 2010.
The June ‘fact finding’ team is back from Haiti and have found a potential location for a prosthetics clinic. The need has extended beyond simply the need for prosthetic limbs. Follow-up care, rehabilitation, and psychological counseling are a huge must. We are looking to move forward as soon as possible. The first hurdle? Clean up. I’ve been told in the area we are looking to serve there can be up to 5 feet of rubble blocking roadways and homes. Our first goal will be to hire local cleanup crews to remove the rubble and create access roads to the compound that will eventually become the clinic site. Next? Transporting and setting up equipment, looking for volunteers! This is an all hands on deck project, medical professional or not. The need for volunteers will come later in the year so stay tuned!
