In the photos above you can see the UN workers that visited the orphanage following the earthquake, photos of the orphans previously living at E.G.O. and photos of some of the refugees that have been brought to E.G.O. In an earlier post there was a story of a refugee who had a broken femur. After having it set at the hospital, he came to EGO. When the extra doctors arrived at the hospital in Dessalines, they decided to do another x-ray. When Doris saw it, she said it just made her sick! The femur isn't broken, rather the bones in his lower leg are badly broken and are still one inch apart--he would never have been able to walk on it. So he is currently at the hospital in Gonaives and will have surgery to put the bones back together. There've been a lot of overworked doctors and mistakes made.
