Welcome
Thursday, April 19, 2007
Today was our last day of clinical stuff. The morning was full of going to the hospital and doing the usual routine. In the afternoon, we held a wheelchair and orthotic clinic for children in the surrounding area who needed changes in their wheelchairs or AFOs (ankle foot orthosis). It was fun because we had to use a heat gun to warm up the orthosis and pliers to change the shape of them to fit the child. So many orthotics that people in the US may have simply thrown away were donated to our program. So cool. Later that afternoon, we gave inservices to the people who are going to continue helping the children in the Santiago area. Night time festivities included food, dancing and socializing with the people from the clinical sites. I even got a compement that I dance better than the Dominican women! A very fun, but busy day. Tomorrow, we're going to the beach to relax and enjoy the Domincan before we leave on Monday.
