In addition to the development work we've been doing in Haiti for 30 years, World Vision has worked in 27 displacement camps since the January 2010 disaster. Because of the multiple challenges that exist in Haiti, helping families rebuild is a marathon, not a sprint. As we address these challenges, World Vision remains committed to the health, safety, and well-being of vulnerable children affected by the quake.
Your generous support has enabled us to respond to immediate needs and help Haiti look to the future.
Protecting children is a top priority following any disaster. After the quake in Haiti, thousands of children were thrust into vulnerable situations in displacement camps. As their parents work to rebuild their lives, these children need a safe place to play and receive emotional support.
World Vision has established 22 Child-Friendly Spaces where the youngest quake survivors can play, sing, learn, and begin to heal from the effects of the tragedy. Currently, more than 5,600 children benefit from Child-Friendly Spaces each week.
World Vision is also working to reunite separated children with their families. In the aftermath of the disaster, an estimated 100,000 children were found to be unaccompanied by family members. Through our family tracing and reunification program, World Vision is providing separated children with care and psychosocial support while seeking to locate surviving relatives. In the first year following the quake, nearly 700 children were reunited with their families.
Following the complete destruction of 105,000 homes and the damage wrought to another 208,000, approximately 1.5 million Haitians found themselves in need of shelter. Families who settled into the 1,300 camps across Haiti were extremely vulnerable to the threat of heavy rain and hurricanes.
World Vision's initial response prioritized the provision of temporary shelters to protect displaced families from the elements. In the immediate aftermath of the quake, we provided more than 113,400 tarpaulins and nearly 7,500 tents to quake-affected individuals.
World Vision's long-term shelter program aims to provide more than 3,500 families in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas with earthquake- and flood-resistant transitional shelters. These sturdy-framed shelters are designed for long-term use and will provide families with safety and an increased sense of stability as they work to rebuild their lives.
World Vision is working to build transitional housing that will provide displaced Haitians with earthquake- and flood-resistant homes as they work to build new lives.
Despite obstacles, including land scarcity, ownership disputes, and debris blocking potential building sites, World Vision has already constructed more than 620 transitional shelters. As we continue to assist those without homes, we are also supporting families in the process of returning to their old homes by providing them with kits containing home improvement supplies.
Access to basic medical services was severely limited in the aftermath of the quake. Children, pregnant women, and those who suffered injuries were left extremely vulnerable to disease and health complications.
In the first year of earthquake response, World Vision focused on meeting the immediate health needs of these vulnerable individuals. During this period, we responded to more than 54,000 visits to health centers, providing critical health, hygiene, and nutrition services.
In addition to supporting 14 hospitals in Haiti by distributing essential medical supplies, World Vision also operated 17 clinics, providing critical healthcare for displaced children and families. Nine of these clinics continue to serve 11 displacement camps within Port-au-Prince, and two additional clinics offer basic health services to families in three camps on the city's border.
Nurses at mobile clinics helped to monitor the nutritional status of children under 5, and World Vision provided supplementary and therapeutic food for mothers and children suffering from malnutrition. At World Vision Mother's Clubs, parents — particularly pregnant and nursing mothers — were provided with opportunities to learn about proper nutritional practices. More than 5,000 mothers in Haiti's displacement camps continue to benefit from these clubs.
As the country struggles to rebuild its infrastructure and access to health services remains limited, World Vision is committed to continue helping vulnerable Haitians access critical care.
A mother takes her child to be tested for malnutrition at a World Vision clinic for babies and pregnant mothers. In the critical first year after the quake, World Vision helped to combat malnutrition in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas by providing health monitoring and nutritional assistance.
Extreme food insecurity that existed in Haiti before January 2010 was exacerbated when families lost their homes and livelihoods in the earthquake. Faced with increasing food prices, insufficient incomes, and the loss of cropland, many found themselves regularly missing meals. Children suffered from hunger-related conditions including malnutrition and anemia.
In the first months of emergency response, World Vision provided food rations including rice, beans, oil, corn-soy blend (CSB), and salt to more than 229,700 households. As families settled in displacement camps, World Vision also established food-for-work programs that enabled individuals to earn food by helping maintain the cleanliness of the camps.
Currently, World Vision is operating a school feeding program through which approximately 70,900 children in more than 450 schools receive regular meals consisting of rice, pulses, oil, and high-energy biscuits. An additional 49,200 children benefit from nutritious meals distributed at 180 feeding centers across three communes.
In addition to responding to immediate needs by providing emergency food to prevent hunger and malnutrition, World Vision is also equipping families to create a sustainable future. Through cash-for-work and cash-for-training programs, small loans, and business trainings, individuals are learning skills that will enable them to earn money for their families while helping their communities rebuild. Nearly 19,000 people have benefited from these job-creation initiatives, which will continue over the long term as we help Haiti rebuild.
The earthquake placed additional stress on already poor water and sanitation systems, contributing to decreased access to water and widespread contamination of existing water sources.
World Vision responded to the urgent needs of families in Port-au-Prince by distributing bottled water and purification tablets. In the months following the disaster, we installed water tanks in displacement camps, distributed containers for collecting water, and provided 190 million liters of clean drinking water to more than 132,000 people in 40 locations across Port-au-Prince.
To improve sanitation and prevent the contamination of water sources, we also constructed more than 700 latrines and nearly 600 showers.
By training families to practice improved hygiene and providing them with access to clean water, World Vision's water, sanitation, and hygiene programs have helped to prevent the spread of disease within the displacement camps. When a cholera outbreak hit Haiti in late October 2010, World Vision began educating more children about hand washing and sanitation and started mass distributions of soap and water purification tablets.
With more than 1 million people still living in displacement camps, where the threat of cholera and other diseases remains, World Vision continues to make water and sanitation efforts a top priority.
As families settle in transitional shelters and begin returning to their homes, World Vision will continue to focus on building and rehabilitating community water points, latrines, showers, and water tanks.

Dusty Rumans has a little dream of big lights and a big city.
The 17-year-old Swansboro High senior has been training in the renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City this week and today performs with other elite high school singers from across North America and a few select locations internationally as part of the Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.
"It still hasn't hit me," Rumans said of singing in such a prestigious place. "I know that people spend their entire life trying to perform in Carnegie Hall, and here I am, a 17-year-old high school student going to be performing in Carnegie Hall within a week. It's crazy, I never saw it coming."
Melynda Morrone, the choral director at Swansboro High School, nominated Rumans for the program. He then had to submit an application and a recording of him singing a selection before he was selected.
Rumans said he is most excited about going to New York City, a destination he has never been to, though he dreams of living there one day.
"I have this little crazy dream of Broadway," he said. Rumans said he is excited to explore the sights and sounds of the city.
"I come from a military family, and I've never actually lived directly in a city," he said. "I've lived in tons of smaller towns and military bases. I've even lived out in the country. But I've never lived in a city. So it's really exciting."
Now that he has been selected, Rumans has been training on his own to prepare for his week in the Big Apple which will culminate in the performance in Carnegie Hall. The six pieces he will perform with the other selected performers are difficult, he said.
"'Arise, Shine!' by Dan Forrest is very intense and requires a lot of focus and vocal maturity," he said. He's also learned a song in Hebrew and another in Russian.
The participants will be working under Conductor Dr. Lynne Gackle, who is an associate professor of Ensembles and associate director of Choral Activities at Baylor University, where she conducts the women's ensemble and the Baylor concert choir. She has also conducted choirs across the world, including Australia, Canada and Germany. The students will also perform in front of representatives from collegiate and professional music programs.
"I like meeting new people," Rumans said of working with Dr. Gackle. "And meeting new people who can help me improve my abilities and give me new takes, new views."
Meanwhile, he has also been rehearsing for the high school's spring production of "Pajama Game" which will hit the stage April 3 through 5 and in which Rumans plays the lead.
He has also been rehearsing for the All-State Choir festival which the choir will travel to shortly after he returns from New York. That festival takes place Feb. 22 in Greensboro.
Rumans is not solely a choir guy. He said he loves "the whole shebang," revolving around the stage including directing, theater tech, acting, singing and dancing.
He has served as a spotlight operator, backstage crew, assistant director, as well as an actor and singer.
Beyond his involvement in school activities, which include his role as the weather man on the Pirate Talk news show on campus and a reader of the morning announcements on Tuesdays as well as his drama and choir activities, he was also in the Cape Carteret Community Theatre musical revue Broadway at it's Best III in November and he helped his vocal coach with a show he wrote.
Morrone, who has never nominated a student for this particular program, said she recommended Rumans for the honor because of his accomplishments and skills, including sight-singing and music theory.
"I've seen him grow fast in the arts," Morrone said. "He works outside of the school doing musicals and revues. So I can see he's interested in it and he has the skills to go to New York and learn this music and be dedicated to it."
Morrone also mentioned Rumans' commitment to the arts with AP music theory, guitar, drama and choir classes, is something she suggests students should do if they want to succeed in the business or study music in a competitive college program.
"Sometimes it's hard for high schoolers to get a grip on theory because it's so foreign to them, but I've seen him grown in the natural progression a student should in four years, and above and beyond actually," she said.
Rumans hopes to double major in musical theatre and professional acting in college, and he is looking at programs at East Carolina University and Western Carolina University. Auditions for those programs are approaching in the next couple months.
Rumans, who sings everything from bass to tenor, said he enjoys singing classic musical songs most - jazzier styles like big band arrangements from Guys and Dolls and Singin' in the Rain, as well as newer, contemporary things.
Of all Broadway musicals, Rumans dreams most of being a part of "The Book of Mormon."
"It's a great new show," he said. "The comedy is really modern, but it's a very classic musical in terms of the dance numbers and it takes a satirical look at typical Broadway and musical tropes and plays on that."
Not only will he have the opportunity to perform in legendary Carnegie Hall, he will get to do some sight seeing while he is in NYC. He has signed up to go to a talk show and see a Broadway play.
The price of going on this trip costs $3,000 total for him and his mother, which he raised through selling baked goods at the school's winter fine arts shows and through donations on a GoFundMe account, which is still active. As of Wednesday, they had raised $2,725 of the $3,000 needed.

Email readership on mobile devices is growing so fast that soon it will be the predominant platform for email consumption, and mobile email consumption may overtake all other platforms even sooner. We are way beyond just 'planning for mobile' – it is now imperative to design your campaigns and landing pages to be easy to view and work well on a mobile device.
Return Path's Tom Sather, senior director of email research, says:
"Looking at the trend lines of our clients, we'll probably see mobile overtaking web-mail and desktop by the end June as the preferred platform, but definitely by the end of the year." As a result, Sather said: "Marketers need to wake up and think about their mobile strategy. More than half of all marketers have no idea if people are reading their email on mobile devices."
He goes on to say "A lot of people talk about optimizing email for mobile devices, which is kind of a no-brainer, but a lot of people don't think beyond the email. If they do click on a link and they come to a landing page, is that optimised for mobile as well? Studies have shown that less than 2 percent of people will revisit an email on their desktop or laptop, so you really only have one chance to make a good first impression."
However, Sather cautions against discounting other platforms. "But just because mobile is the rage, don't forget about desktop email clients such as Outlook, as well as web mail," he said.
We agree Tom. To back that up, here is our list of the most important mobile email design considerations and best practices:
Make sure you optimise your emails and landing pages for mobile. Email open rates have increased since last year and last quarter, but click-through rates have declined. This is most likely because they are abandoned after consumers open them on mobile devices and the messages are not optimised. With mobile you only have 1 chance to get the recipient to read your email and to click through to landing pages. If you are directing people to your website or landing page and it doesn't look good or load or operate well on mobile, people will leave – and find another site that does work.
Think about where, when and how people read emails on mobile. In a recent survey, it was discovered 70% of users read emails in bed before going to sleep or first thing before waking up. So be mindful of this in terms of your design, and don't use bright images which might be hard on the eyes for those reading your emails in the dark or as they are just waking up.
Reduce the template width to fit a smaller screen. We recommend you set the width of your email template to 640 pixels or less. Smartphones have screens between 320 and 480 pixels wide, so if your email is 640 pixels wide it is both suitable for desktop viewing, and is suitable for viewing on smartphones too.
From name and subject line become even more important for mobile. We know the from name is important already – but it becomes even more so due to the fact that the very first thing you see on your mobile, is your from name. So this to me becomes the most important facet of the mobile email. This is closely followed by your subject line. Make sure your subject line is punchy, strong, and we recommend no longer than 35 characters. This is how many characters you see.
Space is at a premium so make it simple and save on real estate. Use one-line pre-header text. Pre-headers are usually 1-2 lines of HTML text at the very top of the email. They are ideal for hand held devices to highlight an enticing offer, making it the first thing prospects read before they even consider downloading images. Keep key content above the fold. (This will be the top 200 to 250 pixels). This area is prime real estate for the 3 to 5 seconds a prospect is focused on your email message, so it needs to have useful, readable text, or a very clear image. Be mindful to incorporate branding and offer-driven text above the fold.
It doesn't have to be brevity central… if it's good enough, it will be saved for later. On a mobile you obviously have less space so eliminate unnecessary content and put the focus on the key parts of the message. However don't strip everything out – creating mobile friendly emails is a balancing act, where your shorter message should be comfortably able to be viewed, read and actioned on a small screen. Longer messages can always be saved for when subscribers get home and can read them in full on a larger screen. Mobile users will delete any long emails that are ineffective, but they will save your email for later if it's well designed with great content.
Bigger, Bolder call to actions – think of the thumbs! It is crucial you increase the size and padding of text links and call-to-action buttons throughout your emails. A typical adult finger covers 45 pixels, and it is no accident Apple makes all their app icons 44 x 44 pixels! Make sure your calls-to-action are padded by at least 10 to 15 pixels to avoid frustrating and accidental finger tapping errors.
Because it's on a smaller screen, you can use larger fonts. This is where we do recommend you use a slightly larger font to keep things easy to read. However still stay with web safe fonts, and use a font size of 12-14 point for body copy and headlines at 20-22 point. Keep in mind that the larger font means you'll have even less space, so keep your content brief.

The Matcha bowl is an integral part of the Chanoyu tea ceremony of Japan. Also known as Chawan, this bowl is handmade by skilled artisans in Tokoname city, Japan. Each bowl is unique in form and its asymmetry is designed to reflect the beauty in imperfection.
Size: Approx. 4.75" d., 3" h. 12 ounce capacity.
Preparing Matcha
A small amount of Matcha is placed into the bowl, traditionally using a bamboo scoop called a Chashaku, then a small amount of hot (not boiling) water is added. The mixture is then whisked to a uniform consistency, using a bamboo whisk known as a Chasen. There must be no lumps left in the liquid, and no ground tea should remain on the sides of the bowl.
Usucha, or thin tea, is prepared with half a teaspoon of Matcha and approximately 75 ml (2.5 oz) of hot water, which can be whisked to produce froth or not, according to the drinker's preference (or to the traditions of the particular school of tea). Usucha creates a lighter and slightly more bitter tea.
Koicha, or thick tea, requires significantly more Matcha, as many as six teaspoons, and up to 3/4 cup of water. Because the resulting mixture is significantly thicker, blending it requires a slower stirring motion which does not produce foam. Koicha produces a sweeter tea, and is served almost exclusively as part of Japanese tea ceremonies.

Resources and activities
Throughout the year Library staff deliver resources and activities to develop students' research and learning skills.
I used the citing and referencing tutorial in class with a group of students and I think it works very well live and with a group. It also prompts further questions from students, so lots of opportunities to explore all their concerns. And they have the URL so they can go back to it on their own if they wish. A really great resource.

Washington's ex-governors get into it for TV
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald Former governors John Spellman (left) and Chris Gregoire sit down for a taping of "The Governors: A KCTS 9 Special" on Tuesday afternoon. 9
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald Former governors Dan Evans (left) and Mike Lowry sit down for a taping of "The Governors: A KCTS 9 Special" on Tuesday.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Former Washington state governors (from left) Dan Evans, Mike Lowry, John Spellman and Chris Gregoire sit down Tuesday afternoon in Seattle with KCTS 9 television for a taping of "The Governors."
And then it got interesting when the two liberal Democrats and two moderate Republicans detoured into politics.
Democrats Chris Gregoire and Mike Lowry and Republicans Dan Evans and John Spellman all praised last week's Supreme Court ruling toppling a voter-approved requirement for a two-thirds majority to raise taxes.
"Two-thirds doesn't make any sense," said Evans, the state's only three-term governor who served from 1965-77. "You can't let the minority run the government or the state."
But Gregoire, who left office in January after two terms, said not to expect a flood of new taxes this year because lawmakers know how popular the supermajority rule is with voters.
"I would be shocked if legislators run wild right now," she said.
Then Evans added a spirited exclamation: "No legislator likes to do it unless they have to do it. Doggone it; the people have the last say."
The gubernatorial quartet gathered in the KCTS9 studio in Seattle to tape an hour-long special to air April 16. Enrique Cerna of KCTS and Joni Balter, assistant political editor of The Seattle Times, moderated the conversation.
While each of the four ex-governors served in a different decade, they shared a similar passion for public service when they ran for the office.
Of course, not every one had an equally easy time getting the job.
Spellman first ran in 1976 and lost to Democrat Dixie Lee Ray, the state's first woman governor.
"We didn't see her coming on and it was kind of a shock," he said. "We didn't know how to lay a glove on her."
Four years later he ran again. He expected a rematch but she lost in the primary. Spellman went on to defeat Democrat Jim McDermott and is the last Republican to serve as governor.
Gregoire etched her place in state history with a nail-biting defeat of Republican Dino Rossi in 2004 following recounts and a court case.
When asked to describe her experience, she joked: "One word comes to mind, refresh." She was referring to continually checking online for the updated tallies of votes during the final hand count.
Once in office, each dealt with budget shortfalls. Three -- Spellman, Lowry and Gregoire -- raised taxes to help fill the gap.
"It had to be done," Spellman said, adding the money was needed for schools and social services. "It didn't help me politically."
Evans, meanwhile, tried twice without success to win voter approval of an income tax as part of a larger reform package.
"We got our heads handed to us" the first time, he said. "We tried it one more time and it was almost three-to-one. People will live with the taxes they know. When something new comes up, they get skeptical."
Lowry, who served from 1993-97, sounded much like a candidate again when he called today's opposition to taxes "self-defeating. I think we've kind of lost sight of the importance of a well-run government. We need to get more revenue into this state."
The potential of initiatives to handcuff lawmakers and governors in budget-writing and policy-making united the foursome.
"I think initiatives are leading us to anarchy," Spellman said, adding he'd like to see some areas of government immune to change through initiatives.
As for achievements, Lowry cited his expansion of the Basic Health Program providing subsidized health insurance to the poor while Spellman said it was establishing a relationship with China which is now the state's leading trade partner. Evans said he's most proud of creating the community college system and the Department of Ecology.
One of the more emotional moments came when they discussed their toughest decisions.
For Gregoire, it was endorsing marriage for same-sex couples. She said she struggled with it mightily and "the weight of the world was lifted" when she went public.
Her most difficult day was the one when four Lakewood police officers were gunned down.
Lowry said he regrets not commuting the death sentence for convicted Snohomish County triple murderer Charles Campbell in 1994. Lowry opposed the death penalty but said he could not override the actions of the courts which had rejected Campbell's repeated appeals.
One of the last questions they faced is how they prepared for life after being governor.
For Gregoire, it meant re-learning how to drive after eight years of getting chauffeured everywhere. She said she's gaining her confidence, though not so much with parallel parking.
"It's an adjustment," she said. "Parking the car is an adjustment."
Evans, who also served as a state lawmaker and U.S. senator, welcomed not being in the spotlight.
One of the frustrations of being governor, he said, is everyone recognizes you and you can't get away with your family.
"It ultimately fades away and anonymity returns," he said.

Elegant Save the Dates
My fiance and I went to a number of invitation shops and received quotes for Save the Dates and Invitation suites for 50-75 guests in the price range of $1,500-$3,000. Ridiculous. We went to MagnetStreet. We worked with their designers and were able to modify a design and make it our own. We were able to order samples to see and feel our design before placing and paying for our full order. Our Save the Dates are beautiful!! We used the Pearl Luxe paper. It has a beautiful sheen and feel, and the paper weight is great. The quality and service is unbeatable. And, I know because I tried working with the pricey invitation designers. They were slow and ridiculously over-priced. Using MagnetStreet will allow us to personally design our own Save the Date and Invitation suite for less than $500. Leaving us an extra $1,000-$2,500 in the budget to go towards other wedding costs. I highly recommend MagnetStreet for quality, service, and promptness - 3 of the most important things to a Bride while wedding planning. Thank you MagnetStreet!

Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
If caught early, melanoma can be cured. But once it's spread, the disease can be tough to treat.
The good news is that treatments keep getting better. Doctors at Mayo Clinic are using a new surgical technique to deliver high doses of chemo directly to areas that need it without exposing the rest of the body.

CUTENESS ALERT! When we received the below video of ASPCA alums Finn and Perri, we knew it was too good to keep to ourselves. The four-month-old felines were adopted last month after entering our shelter as starving strays, and they are clearly thriving in their new life. We caught up with their adopter, Chris H., to find out how these aww-dorable siblings are doing.
"When we first saw Finn and Perri, we knew they were perfect," says Chris. He and his family live in a large, three-story home, and were determined to adopt two young cats to help fill the space. "We felt that kittens have the best temperament for our two- and four-year-old children. Kittens are just as rambunctious as they are!"
In some ways, Finn and Perri's adoption was meant to be. When Chris initially arrived at the shelter, he saw little Perri all alone. He fell in love with her and even took a photo for his wife—but then remembered that he was searching for a bonded pair. That's when he found out that Perri had a brother, Finn, who was in surgery being neutered. "At that point, Finn was brought back in from his surgery. Upon seeing the two together, we decided to adopt them."
Though Finn couldn't go home for a few days post-surgery, the brother and sister were soon reunited in Chris's home. Now they do everything together, including sleeping, playing and running up and down the stairs. Chris says, "The kitties are in kitty paradise with three floors to keep them in top shape, and a loving family that is absolutely crazy about them!"
Check out Finn, Perri and all their cuteness in the video below:

I had 2 pure white sister kittens from the same litter when they were 5 weeks old
I was devistated when I lost them in 2012, they died 7 months apart both aged 19 & 1/2 they were the most affectionate cats to each other & to very human they came in contact with, they use to TALK to each other & to ME, it was amazing. The video of Finn & Perri reminds me of my 2 beautifull girl SILKY & SNOWY. If any one out there has 2 female pure white sister kittens would you let me know. 0755930154 or [email protected]

Crowder and Woods Drain 20 as Men's Basketball Rolls Limestone 88-71
January 21, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A pair of 20-point performances by James Crowder (High Point, NC) and Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) paced Pfeiffer University in an 88-71 victory over the Limestone Saints in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Thursday night. Crowder, who scored the double-double with 11 rebounds, helps the Falcons win their third-straight moving to 9-5 overall, 5-3 inside league play. The loss sends Limestone to 9-4, 5-3.
Crowder scored 13 of his 20 in the first half pushing the Falcons out to a 10-point lead at the break. Five-straight points two minutes in started Crowders night off on the right foot. In a half that saw seven ties and 11 lead changes, Pfeiffer took the lead for good, 31-30, on a three-pointer by Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) at the 6:45 mark. Jarrell Douglass (Leesburg, FL) and Anthony Middleton (Holly Hill, SC) each cut the Pfeiffer lead to one on a pair of layups, before a 10-1 run by the hosts created the ten point advantage at the break.
Down by 12 three minutes into the second 20 minutes, Limestone jumped out on an 8-2 run, cutting the deficit to six on a three-point play by Danny Friend (Morrow, GA). Just past the midway point of the second, a 13-2 stretch by the Falcons thanks to a Pettiway three, layup by Crowder and free throws by Woods put Pfeiffer up 18 with 4:21 to play. Woods would finish with 14 second-half points.
Limestone was led by Friends 28 points, one of three Saints in double-figures. Middleton finished with 13 while Joe Raga (Lithia, FL) concluded with 10. Along with Woods and Crowder, Pettiway finished in double-digits with 16 while Davon Gilliard (Charleston, SC) drained 13.
Limestone made half of their 58 shots on the night, but went 0-for-7 from behind the arc. Pfeiffer finished the night shooting 47% from the field knocking down 11 long-range shots in the victory.
Pfeiffer will look to improve upon the win-streak as the homestand continues on Saturday night. The Falcons will host the Erskine Flying Fleet for a 7:30 p.m. tip.

|Clearwater Marine Aquarium Brings the Ocean to ACH Patients
Prosthetics are nothing new at All Children's Hospital. Artificial limbs are part of life for some young patients. But it's not everyday the patients get to check out a prosthetic dolphin tail.
That's what made a recent visit from representatives of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium such a special treat. Patients well enough to leave their rooms gathered in All Children's second floor playroom to watch a video about the Aquarium's star inhabitant, Winter the dolphin, who lost her tail due to damage from fishing line. CMA's efforts to fit Winter with an artificial tail have garnered national media attention and may well lead to innovations in prosthetic design for humans as well.Eight-year old Cailyn had a chance to hold one of the prosthetic tails that Winter has already outgrown. She agreed it felt kind of funny, almost like gummy bears. Other patients enjoyed the opportunity to see and touch the four-foot shell of a loggerhead turtle.
The visit was part of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium's mission of hands-on education to encourage respect for our environment and the creatures that share it. But for youngsters facing their own physical challenges, the story of Winter the dolphin is truly inspirational as well.
