Copied from my FB posts, sorry for the redundancy for those of you that check both:
If any of you follow my blog, this is the young man i mentioned in my first post from Peru. The video was made in an attempt to convince apple to donate therapeutic ipods/ipads (they actually have therapeutic apps!) to Awamaki for Alex and some of our other patients that can benefit from PT. While I still wonder about the sustainability of some of our work (as I mentioned in that blog post), I have been convinced of the utility of PT for the CP patients here. Another CP patient that I have been visiting and working with has been benefiting from PT and similar interventions for a number of years and his quality of life is much higher than what you see in this video (Alex just started PT a few months ago). As I posed in spanish as a comment under my last FB post: our programs aren't perfect, but we are trying. Thanks all for your great comments and support!

This fun, short video is on Awamaki's weekly chocolatadas in the local health clinics. Trish did a great job putting the video together and yours truly has a little face time.http://vimeo.com/21378817
