New Facebook Community Page for WoundCareHaiti.org
The new Community Page at Facebook for WoundCareHaiti.org will give this mission one more option to connect with people who share interest in Haiti online.
As a topic that appeals to Facebook users outside our field and circle, the community page was recommended as the format to use. As a community page, people who care about Haiti can read our updates and leave their own thoughts as well. They can become part of the mission in an active conversational manner and be creative about ways to accomplish more help for Haitians.
WoundCareHaiti.org was set up a few months before the tragic earthquake that has made the need even greater. When you are at your Account on Facebook, you’re invited to join the group by pressing the ‘like’ button. We’re eager to hear your ideas and interest in Haiti.
Haiti Pre-Earthquake | Was that the Good Old Days?
Along with many other generous people, we had a heart for the folks in Haiti before the tragic earthquake that caused so much damage a few months ago.
For Haiti, it wasn’t some little thing that happened “a few months ago”, their need was great before and it remains great. The people meet each day with the brave dignity of survivors.
Haiti is still very much on my heart and mind every day along as I treat patients at the Indiana clinics of Hoosier Foot and Ankle. I stay in touch with colleagues who are onsite in Haiti working to deliver wound care and meet other needs. While they work, we know the rest of the world has not forgotten, but each and every caring person is performing tasks at their location, perhaps to earn so they can give. Or perhaps to produce something that benefits more people than our friends in Haiti.
We were with Haiti at WoundCareHaiti.org before the earthquake and we will stay with Haiti. You can learn more at the link or ask me about the Haiti mission at your next appointment. Haiti is one of my favorite topics.
