Team Rehab Day 6

For day 6, we split up in the morning: Sarah and June focused on making a cast for the lady with a nonunion humoral fracture, while Ali D, Greg, and Allie W. treated patients in the hospital. The highlights of the morning: Sarah and June completed the casting after multiple attempts (due to expired materials). Also Ali D and Allie began gait training with a sweet 8-year-old boy that had not been out of bed for months. In the afternoon we went on a walk with other volunteers to Jimmy's house to see his bee hives. For those of you that do not know Jimmy, he is a rehab tech in training at Hospital Lumiere. He also keeps bee hives and bottles his own honey, which we were able to purchase! At dusk we watched June's Advantage Program PowerPoint where we learned the most Haitians earn less then $2/day, goals of Advantage include to empower those living with disabilities on how to be resourceful and successful integrate in the community. In the evening, we returned to the hospital with the other volunteers for singing and devotion with the patients. The day was concluded with a trickle of water for showering and to bed early for much needed rest. Well Greg had great water pressure apparently:) -allie
