Knees, feet and hopefully another person

Though our trip is moved back to September, preparations are still happening! We're thinking through what was packed on the shipping container that arrived at New Day last summer, what we have on the shipping container that's currently on its way to Zambia and what we need to pack in storage containers to take on our flights in September. Lots of organizing.

We got a large order of AT knees from LegWorks in this past week. This company has been awesome to work with to purchase knees for Zambia! LegWorks company Vision:Our vision as a company is to develop and supply all components of a complete prosthetic leg solution for lower-limb amputees around the world, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. Prosthetic Promises is able to be a NGO Partner to provide these knees to people we see in Zambia. 

We've also had some donations of parts and supplies. Otto Bock, a prosthetic manufacturer, donated 6 prosthetic feet! And I got some great athletic shoes from my coworker. 

I was able to take the prosthetic feet and shoes to Chris this past Saturday when we had dinner with Chris, John, John's wife Robin and his daughter Taylor in Temple. So good to see them and catch up! 

And super exciting: we potentially have another prosthetist joining us for our trip in September. She's still working out logistics, but we are hopeful she will be able to go. It would be so awesome to have another practitioner to be able to see even more patients! 

Stay tuned for preparation updates!
