Installation of the skylight on the new rehabilitation clinic building was completed on January 25th. It looks incredible! The finishing work within the building is moving along at a rapid pace now as several rooms have received their first coat of paint. The pharmacy room now has tiled counters and the interior doors are being built on site by hand. Healing Hands welcomed visitors from USAID and Handicap International who toured the building and were delighted to see the extent of the facility so close to completion.

Strong support from Handicap International continues at the Physical Rehabilitation Center (PRC) located near the National Palace area of downtown Port au Prince. Originating from a 2009 small collaboration to assist 10 Haitian people with prosthetic limbs and quickly expanded after the January 2010 earthquake, this partnership has solidified into a long term commitment to help disabled, injured and vulnerable; while training current and future generations of caregivers.
Finishing work is well under way on the new rehabilitation center. Tradesmen are working on electrical wiring, interior/exterior plaster, tile work, counters and wood work. Plans for skylight installation Jan 21!
January 12, 2012 marks the first anniversary of the HHH SCI Peer Support Group! The group was established one year after the earthquake when a need was identified that the lives of so many had been significantly changed.
