April 2016In early April 2016, OLUOL made it's first trip to Haiti. Here're the highlights:
- Kervens received two new legs, one for walking (with a knee) and one for running (a pylon with a blade foot). - Mikerline had casts made for arms to be fabricated in the U.S. (Unfortunately, the plaster molds weren't setting in Haiti.) - Luciano and Woodline (who have shoulder disarticulations) both had casts made for prosthetic arms. - Six other amputees' prostheses were repaired and ten other amputees were evaluated by the team. These patients were walk-ins! - We validated our relationship/process with Bernard Mevs Hospital and strengthened relationships in Haiti, allowing for ongoing support! - Read more complete reports from Christy and Jess! |
