HHS FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO ERADICATE IMMOVABILITY The HHS Foundation, Wheelchair Foundation and Rotary International, Texas, continue to eradicate immovability in the Hispaniola Island. Since 2003 to the present, we have been able to distribute 2,070 wheelchairs in Dominican Republic and Haiti. All these wheelchairs have been handed directly to low income individuals without any regard to their social status.

The wheelchairs are handed out to each individual based on their height, weight andage to make sure that each individual gets the appropriate chair.

The last remaining wheelchairs were handed out in

April 2010 in conjunction with WFC and Rotary International of Texas, its donators.

APRIL 8 AND 9, 2010

We went throughout the various villages (batey) in Barahona, located along the Haitian border, distributing wheelchairs. These villages are, among others, as follows: Batey 6, Batey 5, Batey 2, Batey 1, Jaquimeye, Batey Bombita, Batey Isabela, Fundacion, Uvilla, Pescaderia, and Batey Cuchilla.

HHS FOUNDATION SUPPORTING HAITI

Knights Of Columbus, Global Mission along with HHS Foundation

Donated 1,172 wheelchairs in Dominican Republic as part of our efforts to eradicate

immovability in our country.

Because of the earthquake that impacted and devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010, we asked AWM to allow us to help our fellow Haitians brothers that were being urgently treated both here in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

We were able to help the Dr Dario Contreras Hospital in the following areas:

Donation of medications and medical related supplies

Participate as volunteers in both the emergency room and kitchen areas

Set up a shelter for the patients released from the hospital whom did not have place to stay in.

Once we received the wheelchairs at the end of March, we already had a contingency plan for their distribution in Haiti.
