My recent trip to Mission of Hope in Haiti was very fulfilling. I
wanted to encourage other prosthetists to go and experience the
satisfaction that comes from volunteer work by contacting Chase Brown at
< <Email Address Redacted> > and setting up a week in your schedule.
The freedom of doing what we do best without prescriptions, insurance
companies and unnecessary paperwork makes the job fun again. Their
facility is complete and the organization of MOH is superb. I found it
very safe and eye opening. It is an inside look at third world challenges.
You will get to visit the tent cities in order to pick up the patients
who also stay at the Mission. The Haitian culture is very different
than ours, but the people are great and the new perspective you will
gain is worthwhile.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding your
opportunity.
