This headline in the Telegraph says it all: Haiti ‘faces amputee generation’.
In another article, The Miami Herald reported that Healing Hands for Haiti, the only prosthetic limb manufacturer in Port-au-Prince was destroyed.
Does anyone know of agencies preparing to serve the thousands of newly disabled people of Haiti? Please add a comment if you do.
And let us all continue to pray for them and support the agencies providing immediate relief.
The Works of God 
The Utah Hopital Task Force of Healing Hands for Haiti just landed in Haiti with 130 medical personnel, people with construction experience, and interpreters. (My son, Huntington Tracy Hall, a mathematician by profession, is with the group as an interpreter.)
I am confident that Helping Hands for Haiti will rebuild and continue to provide desperately-needed services to Haiti’s disabled.

Thank you for this info, Tracy!
Please correct my previous post: change “I am confident that Helping Hands for Haiti will rebuild” “. . . HEALING Hands for Haiti” . . . .
Several years ago we heard of Frontiers workers in a middle eastern country who were trained in a method of making fiberglass prosthetics for land-mine victims. I’ll let you know if I find out more info.
this morning on NPR’s morning edition, i heard a story about a non-profit group called handicap international that is going to build a prosthetic limb factory in haiti.
here is a link to the story if you are interested: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123084827
