Hello All!!! Jacqueline and Todd here! Quick Volcano update- we are all safe and continuing with our service as planned! There is some ash on the streets and some on the trees, but otherwise everything is as usual! FYI, our three service learning groups have now combined into two groups and visited Missionaries of the highway and Naomi's.
Today at Missionaries, we had an orientation in the morning with a beautiful dance and marimba concert by a few of the children who are clients of Missionaries! After lunch we began to see clients. I (Jacqueline) worked in the OT/ Fine motor room with two clients, who were working on maintaining attention, dressing and pre-handwriting! Other people also worked in Speech, Sensory Integration, and with Wheelchairs. We sent two kiddos home with new wheelchairs that will work much better for them! Overall, it was an exciting day at Missionaries of the Highway!
Darry's group went to a new site today at Naomi's house with 9 Guatemalan kids she has adopted, 8 with special needs and disabilities. I worked with 7 of the kids sharing NDT handling and positioning techniques for functional mobility in sitting, standing, prone, quadruped and gait with Lisa, OT that comes there to work with the kids 1x/wk. The students did a great job taking photos and typing up the recommended plan of care for Naomi and her caregivers that came to her house daily to providing amazing care of all the special needs kids.
Thanks for reading!
