A smile for Haiti.

medi for help, Dec. 2015

Fleurimene can laugh again

She came in November

2014 for consultation and

was nearly four years old.

Because of her weak right

leg, she never had made a

step in her life.

The experts in Deschapelles

had to amputate her leg and

then provide her with a

prosthesis.

Today Fleurimene is able to

walk on her own.

medi bayreuth supports medi for help

medi bayreuth thought up something special for the relief project medi for

help: the club auctioned off autographed fan articles over Christmas and

donated the proceeds to the organisation in Haiti. Besides jerseys and fan

packages, a special event - an exclusive Meet & Greet with Bastian Doreth -

came under the hammer. A total of € 437,52 could be donated.

Already in February 2015 in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the relief

project the team collected € 401.

Ongoing Developements 2015

In 2015 medi sent a total of 15 volunteers from all over Europe,

that supported the production and training of our technician in the workshops of

Deschapelles and in the Hospital for children St.Vincent - Port au Prince. Next year the

duration of the rotation will be extended from two to three weeks by request of our

volunteers.



MobileClinic HUM & Saint Nicola

Thanks to our workshop cars we could operate a MobileClinic-consultation twice

week.




approximately 85 km away „Hopital Universitäre Mirebalaise – HUM“


Ongoing Developement 2015


approximately 50 km away „Hopital Saint Nicola in St.Marc“



Since 2014 there has been a second workshop in Port-au-Prince

Our volunteers regularly use their knowledge and abilities in the workshop at the

Hospital for children „St.Vincent“ caring for patients and training of the technicians on

the ground.



Prosthetic Hand out of the 3D printer

Our medi for help project was supported by an US-project. The prosthetic hand out of

the 3D printer „The RAPTOR-Hand“ is an ambitious research project for Haiti. Here

children who show an interest in technology are encouraged and supported to use

computers in public schools.



Handing over of the P&O workshop to an Haitian technician

We are currently looking for a Haitian technician, who will take over the lead of the

workshop in Deschapelles following extensive training in the upcoming year. With

this medi for help supports the self-empowerment and the self-reliance of the

technicians on the ground.
