Haiti Day four - Kirsten

Bonswa,
My fourth day in Haiti has been full of more blessings. People continue to come to the free therapy clinic. I am so busy, but the patients are very patient. They never complain about waiting for me to see them. So many people with UE/hand fractures and crushing. The buildings in Haiti are mostly made of cement. Many of the people have nerve damage due the buildings falling on them. Some of them trapped for days under the rubble. OT's are a very important part of this treatment team and have a unique way of helping these people. I do hope that other OT's join the GlobalTherapyGroup team and help restore function to these people. For many of them, their hands are their liveilhood. If they are unable to work, they will not be able to eat. There is no unemployment compensation here.
Thank you (merci) for all your prayers for us in Haiti. We know that the prayers of the righteous are so important. Please continue to pray for us as we do God's work with our hands.
Kirsten
