The new team met at the warehouse…

From CAMTA Ecuador Mission 2009

On Tuesday evening there was a palpable excitement in the air at the CAMTA warehouse.
The majority of the Edmonton members of CAMTA's Team 2009 met at the warehouse. There were lots of new faces. We have several new translators and there are two new physiotherapists. Between now and Christmas we will be meeting again and I'll post pictures as we prepare for the mission that departs Edmonton on February 20th and February 27th. There are two groups going to Quito, Ecuador to work at the Tierra Nueva hospital.

We are planning total hip replacements on adults who have osteoarthritis. And children with orthopedic problems will have there dysplastic hips repaired or their clubfeet released.

There are two clinics to assess the patients on Sunday February 22nd and March 1st.
