Team Canada Healing Hands – New Promotional Video!
The folks at Team Canada Healing Hands invited us into the Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre to ask them some questions about their “day jobs” and about the upcoming fundraiser at Greenfield’s Pub on Sunday May 30th.
We met Karen Mallet, a Speech-Language Pathologist who has been to Haiti to provide rehabilitation services to the people there and says that the need for rehab medicine in Haiti is extremely high now that the immediate post-earthquake crisis is over.
We also met David Nielen, a Certified Prosthetist/Orthotist who had been to Haiti before the earthquake and explained to us the importance of not only providing rehabilitation medical services, but also for experienced practitioners to train local medical staff so they can continue to provide this kind of care after international volunteers leave.
Team Canada Healing Hands is hosting a fundraiser at Greenfield’s Pub in Nepean on Sunday May 30th, 2010. All of the funds raised at this event are going to this volunteer group of medical and rehabilitation professionals to get them back to Haiti to provide direct care and training. This event has something for everyone including a magic show from Luc Leduc the Duke of Magic, great local bands like EFARM, Shotgun in the Ambulance, Monday I Retire and Ridin’ Shotgun. There will be a silent auction, 50/50 draws and of course the great hospitality of Greenfield’s Pub.
Check out this new promotional video just released that describes what Team Canada Healing Hands does and gives some details on the upcoming fundraiser. OttawaTonite will be there on May 30th covering the event so come out and get yourself on the Internet!
Special thanks go out to Jester Creative for their help producing this video.
