Rehabilitation
Center
Report,
November
2007
The
new
Phase
II
building
was
competed
and
opened
for
treatment
for
the
children
in
May,
2007.
Building
I
(built
in
2006)
houses
Special
Education
and
Psychological
Services,
a
meeting
and
staff
room.
Building
II
(built
in
2007)
houses
the
administrative
office,
four
private
treatment
and
examining
rooms,
an
Activities
of
Daily
Living
room,
an
Assistive
Technology
Laboratory,
and
a
large
therapeutic
treatment
area
for
Physical
and
Occupational
Therapy.
The
Vermont
team
of
eight
therapists
take
turns
visiting
the
Center
on
a
rotational
system
to
maintain
continuity
in
treating
the
children
-
in
January,
June
and
November.
We
communicate
through
the
internet
and
hope
to
have
webcam
technology
operational
by
mid
February,
2008.
Our
2008
objectives
are
to
finish
the
installation
of
running
water,
complete
the
flooring
for
the
rooms,
have
volunteers
paint
appropriate
murals
to
enhance
the
interior
and
to
continue
to
equip
the
building
to
meet
the
children’s
needs.
We
are
all
quite
proud
of
the
way
we
work
together
‘for
the
children’,
and
we
see
mutual
teaching
and
learning
taking
place.
Currently,
there
are
75
children
seeking
help
at
the
center
along
with
a
small
group
of
adults.
The
families
of
the
children
have
shown
their
appreciation
by
helping
to
maintain
and
care
for
the
Center.
This
little
girl
is
one
of
80
patients
currently
being
treated
at
the
Rehab
Therapies
Center
(constructed
and
established
by
the
Vermont
–
Hands
to
Honduras
–
Tela
Program).
The
treatment
she
is
receiving
has
changed
her
life
and
given
her
hope
for
the
future.
Before
the
Center
was
built,
there
was
no
care
available
within
a
90
mile
radius.
The
H2H-Tela
Team
has
collected
35
baby
joggers
(all
donated
by
Vermonters)
to
help
special
needs
children.
The
joggers
are
a
god-send
for
mothers
who
have
to
carry
their
children
on
the
bumpy,
muddy
roads.
The
joggers,
along
with
donated
medical
supplies,
fire
fighter
and
police
equipment,
dental
supplies,
school
supplies
and
other
needed
goods,
will
be
transported
from
Vermont
in
the
40
ft.
container.
