John Logue, Prosthetics and Orthotics Guru (P.O.G.)

The earthquake of January 12, 2010 left over 200,000 dead. Of the survivors, many thousands are now newly created amputees. Haiti has limited resources to serve this disabled population. As a specialist in artificial limbs, John Logue has the potential to help rebuild many shattered lives. In his own words.....


"I am a prosthetist/orthotist from Alabama, New Orleans, New York, New Haven, and now Baltimore. This is my first real mission, though each of those other stops seemed like a 'mission' in its own right; though maybe not as altruistic as serving in Haiti. The thing I'd like to think I took from those places, is knowing that I need to be useful for a worthwhile purpose. Albert Schwietzer got the idea right in the quote on the Haitibones.org site... 


'I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.'


The happiness he speaks of there certainly seems to show in the faces of the mission experienced Team Sinai folks. I am very grateful for the chance to be a part of this effort."
