Two Weeks in October

I am in Antigua now. The last two weeks I've been at the clinic in Zacapa with two seperate volunteer groups. The first week we worked with more than 30 new prosthetic patients. This was ROMP's first official upper extremity clinic and we provided 6 new prosthetic arms with specific funding from some of our donors. During the week photographer Marc Altman captured the essence the ROMP mission in Guatemala. I encourage everyone to visit his own blog HERE. The second week of work we hosted the first group of recently graduated O&P students from Northwestern University. We hope that this trip with Northwestern was just the first of many to come.
