Kai Mira |
In 1999, HBS built a new ward and home, named
Kaï
Mira, for the approximate 25 abandoned chidren with disabilities
requiring special needs in its care. A new feeding
and physical therapy program was initiated with very positive
results for these children. HBS goal is to evaluate the potential
of these children in order to find homes or other institutions
to care for them. HBS has just completed renovations on the pediatric
ward and is working on maternity.
On the public health side, HBS has a broad vaccination
program and also provides potable water to the entire town of Limbe.
Family planning, pre-natal and post natal clinics and educational
classes have always been a part of HBS and are now held in separate
and new rebuilt facility. HBS is currently assessing further public
health projects to become involved with.
The Musee de Guahaba, a small historical museum
founded by William H. Hodges, MD, is one of HBS's philanthropic
projects providing a historical perspective to the Haitian scene.
Haiti's rich history is portrayed from the time of the indigenous
Arawak Indians, through the Spanish and French colonization periods,
past independence in 1804 to present day. HBS receives large numbers
of students, scholars and general public each year to this facility.
