photos - various - part 5

This girls left foot has the clubbed foot. We set an appointment for her to come into Port-au-Prince next week in order to go over to Hopital Adventiste, where they have an orthopedic clinic where children are treated for free for their clubbed feet. An American orthopedic surgeon is in charge of the clinic.
We also visited Williamise who is a girl with hydrocephalus. The "Cutie" is Williamise younger sister. She is 2 years old and can not walk yet.
She has strength to stand but not the strength and balance to walk. Both children have the orange hair which shows that their nutritional status is not good.
We went out to Archaie to visit Jacob. He is doing well and is now in the 5th grade.
Archaie is along the coast and is a beautiful place. We visited a beach in the making. Once it is done and the area is cleaned up a lot it would be a nice place to relax and catch some sun.
