Hello again everyone and welcome back to yet another instalment of Bear Jew Aboard. We’re back to making orthotics in this week’s video. At the end of outreach two in Milne Bay Province, two DTS students Kelly (Singapore), and Lisa (Germany) asked me if I could help a young man who couldn’t walk well. His Achilles tendon was so tight it pulled his foot into a permanent toe point. I contacted my friend, Ms. Dorcas Yemi Sholanke of FootWorks Podiatry in Singapore, and she walked me through what I needed to make. She also instructed me the young man should work to loosen his ligaments, to prevent the issue from worsening. Using her guidance, a few tools and supplies, and a lot of caffeine we got something together that seems to be doing the job. We also learned a bit about another layer of good that comes from helping people. Hope you enjoy!
Great video! Grandma watched with me tonight. Hope you are doing well. Looks like it. Love, Mom xo
