Hello all,
Fundación Prótesis Para la Vida (Prosthetics for Life Foundation) which
has a year-round clinic in the beautiful Northern Highlands of Ecuador
is looking for prosthetists and orthotists to volunteer for a trip in
June and/or July. Our American team will be there from June 1 through
July 31 and we welcome people to join us for a week or two. The clinic
provides at-cost or low-cost prosthetic and orthotic devices to
patients with no other means to obtain them. All of our past volunteers
have been amazed at what they have received from their time spent in
our clinic–including plenty of collaborative effort. Volunteers work
hard at the clinic but there is always plenty of time to travel and see
the sights. To understand more about the work we do, please view
www.prostheticsforlife.org (best viewed via safari).
If you can’t come, but would like to help with the project, consider
donating used but serviceable prosthetic/orthotic components.
To inquire about joining the group OR donating components, contact
Robert Frank, CPO at [email protected]; and/or Jennifer Lee, CPO at
