About Greetings From Haiti

Happy New Year 2010!

As Gil and I welcome in the New Year, I am busy packing for my trip to Deschapelles Haiti to teach in the Rehabilitation Technician Training Program. I am grateful to receive a staff sabbatical this year from Maryville which will allow me to spend more time. The program was a great success last year and this year there were 15 students who applied for the program. We are expecting to have 6-7 students. Once again I am excited to be teaching with Denise English, PT the Program Director and a dear colleague and friend.
Thank you all for your interest in my adventure and for your great support. Please view the links to learn more about Haiti, Hopital Albert Schweitzer and Health Volunteer Overseas.

Haiti January 3-17th 2009

Many of you have questions regarding my upcoming trip. I leave Saturday January 3rd and will be returning to St Louis on January 17th. I will be teaching the first cohort in the Rehabilitation Aide Training Program at the Hopital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles Haiti. This program is sponsored by Health Volunteer Overseas. I will be traveling with Denise English, PT, the Program Director. Denise and I taught in the program at Healing Hands for Haiti, in Port-a-Prince in March 2007. Although they will not be with us this time, I need to thank Mary Christman, Kelly Nowacki and Cheryl Cavallo, who introduced me to this program and taught with us in 2007.
