Calm in the Middle of the Storm

In the middle of a nation in crisis, there is peace for this little boy because of you.

I’d like to tell you one more story from chaos-torn Haiti.  This little boy is receiving treatment at an Occupational Therapy Center in Northwest Haiti.  I don’t know, and can’t imagine what he is seeing every day or what he has been through leading up to his appointments and relationship with the FAME partner Occupational Therapy Center.  The caregiver sending these photos has been in NW Haiti for 15 years and has helped so many adults and children!

In a recent article I received from a Medical Mission they described Occupational Therapy’s importance in sustainable health and wellness care.  The article described their role as a holistic health practitioner in the developing world as key to helping in rehabilitation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put simply, helping clients like this little boy learn simple skills, like using utensils, balancing, and using his wrists is key to recovery from injury.  This time is probably a peaceful moment, a calm in the middle of the storm where the Occupational Therapist is able to share the love, peace, and message of Jesus to the child and his parents.

But here is where FAME and this OT Center connect.  The therapy chair and table pictured were in the FAME warehouse because of friends of FAME who donated them in Florida and delivered them to Indianapolis.  They were delivered to the mission partner in Haiti recently, and now provide a place of help and hope in the midst of crisis and chaos in that country.

Only God could have orchestrated the donation of a therapy chair and table in Florida, which traveled all the way to Indianapolis and then to Haiti, where they are now helping a little boy recover from injury and trauma.

Only God, but partnered with your generosity, FAME is blessed to play a role in helping the world’s most vulnerable!

Thank you for your partnership!!
