Elaine and Fatima have been in Haiti since July 13th. Things are moving along quickly, thanks to so many people!
Here are a few highlights of the past several days:
July 14th
Local London physio therapists met with the LGA Telemedicine agents to do some training.
Our therapists also met and worked with local Haitian farmers in the rice fields. Manual labor for Haitians is nothing new - therefore having a therapist on hand to observe, address needs and answer their concerns was a very positive experience.
July 15th
The LGA therapists hosted an LGA therapy clinic for patients - they also met one on one with several Haitians addressing their concerns.July 21st
Soccer for the kids! Elaine and Fatima distributed numerous soccer balls to the community children - great fun!Elaine and Fatima have been working hard on organizing a location for a new workshop that will be used for the local artisans to design, create and sell jewellery, clothing and art. Another job creation ...compliments of LGA!
July 23rd
Dr.Paul Gahlinger from Salt Lake City Utah joined everyone in Haiti and has been working aggressively with Dr. Joey and our Team to establish our next projects, including phase two of the Telemedicine Project.
Elaine and Fatima visited our Weekend Language School today! A very excited group of students were pleased to see them. A new music program has been introduced and will no doubt create a positive impact for many lives.
Telemedicine Clinic
The clinic has been seeing many patients over the past several days. Not only has it proven to create several wellness needs, but it has encouraged locals to become "health active" with themselves and their families. In a few days, Elaine and Fatima will be home with more stories, followups and details of our latest journey.
Stay tuned....there is always more to come!
