Another busy day...

Antonio and I had a meeting with our partner organization Handicap International. It was great to finally put a lot of names with faces. The meeting was very productive.

Following the meeting we drove to our new Healing Hands for Haiti/Handicap International Prosthetic and Orthotic workshop. At the workshop they were fitting another patient with a new limb. It is fun to watch the process. Al Ingersoll, his wife Deb and another woman met us at the workshop. They had just flown in to Haiti. Al is a Healing Hands for Haiti board member and runs the Prosthetic and Orthotic Program for HHH. He has been hired by the Haitian Government to manage the P&O coordination on the group. He is acknowledged to be one of the few experts on Haiti's P&O needs and conditions.

After showing Al around the workshop we headed back to the HHH property to drop off Al and crews bags then drove off to a meeting of the Disabilities work group which is the Haitian Government and other organizations working with the disabled population in Haiti. Today was focused around P&O so it was truly a P&O focused day for me.

We came back to the Guest House, ate a late dinner and I jumped on a board meeting....LONG day and I again feel like I haven't finished what I need to accomplish. I have 2 days left to get work done before I head back to the US. So much more to get done!

Bonne Nuit
