FINDING HOPE THROUGH
Mobility
Who We Are
Mobility Outreach International (MOi) is a
non-political, secular, international nonprofit
organization (NGO), that has restored and
enhanced mobility for children and adults in
under-resourced health settings since 1989. MOi
provides treatment to children with clubfoot,
prosthetic and orthotic services, physical
rehabilitation, advocacy and orthopedic surgical
outreach. Our programs and partnerships have
directly reached over 30,000 patients, and
indirectly served more than 100,000 people whose
lives were affected by limb loss or deformity. We
believe that when we strengthen the capacity of
health workers, private clinicians, and the supply
chain that surrounds them, MOi plays a key role
in fostering sustainability across the entire health
system; dramatically increasing the quality and
access to care for persons with physical disabilities.
Mission Statement
To restore and enhance mobility for children and
adults in under-resourced areas of the world.

PERFORMANCES
International recording artist, Enrique
Henao, who has garnered critical
acclaim as one of the world’s finest,
free spirited acoustical guitarists,
takes the stage to perform in support
of MOi this evening. From 1975
to 1980, Enrique Henao lived and
performed in Seattle becoming one
of the city’s best loved musicians and
entertainers. Schooled in music by his
father, also a gifted musician, Enrique performed in his first concert at the
age of 13. Enrique has since played in more than 80 countries giving him a
great knowledge of the world’s music, as well as a profound respect for and
understanding of all people, making him a true citizen of the world. Enrique
has been witness to the ravages of poverty in his homeland Colombia, here
in the United States and in his international travels. Enrique’s commitment
to use his talent to serve children is evident in his support of a children’s
hospital in Manizales, Colombia. Henao has performed for 17+ heads of state
and keeps thank-you notes from the White House and the Vatican. His
scrapbook tells the story: contracts for performances on “The Mike Douglas
Show” and “The Tonight Show”: theater photos with Andres Segovia: pictures
of marquees with Johnny and June Carter Cash, Julio Iglesias and others.
Gansango Music & Dance draws on
the stunning talent of a multicultural
group of international dancers and
musicians presenting traditional and
contemporary dance and music from
West Africa. Directed by Etienne
Cakpo, (originally from Benin and
now based in Seattle), Gansango
fuses music and movement from
across the African continent, drawing
from the dance and music traditions
of Benin, Ghana, Togo, and Senegal.

6 | STEPS TO HEALING A NEW FUTURE OF MOBILITY A message from the Executive Director Welcome to the 2019 Steps to Healing Annual Dinner Auction and Gala! What an incredible year 2018 has been! This year, as we celebrate our 30th birthday since our founding in 1989, we remain proud of the work we do each day to help people gain greater physical independence. Today, just as we did then, we focus on mobility solutions for people living with limb loss or deformity in low-resource health settings such as Bangladesh, Haiti, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Vietnam. We do this through programs and strategic partner- ships that magnify our impact and leverage our resources so that each dollar we raise can go further, serving more and more people who need access to mobility. In the past year, one of our greatest achievements was launching our programs into an entirely new country of service – Senegal (West Africa). There, we work with the German Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Association (DAHW), our on-the-ground partner, to deliver artificial limbs and technical training in prosthetics and orthotics to people in under-served communities. Our reach is profound. Throughout our history, MOi has indirectly impacted the lives of more than 100,000 family members of its 30,000 direct program beneficiaries, and has strengthened entire health systems so that sustainable access to care is permanently within reach. Without mobility solutions, people with physical disabilities and amputees depend on other household members for many aspects of their daily lives. Each year, MOi helps courageous patients make incredible strides toward living fuller, more economically independent and normal lives. We hope that tonight you can join us in being a champion for people with physical disabilities to magnify these outcomes. MOi Programs; Prosthetic and Orthotic Program: Trains technicians and clinicians to overcome supply chain barriers, and technical capacity, while attracting increased support from the ministries of health; Clubfoot Program: Raises awareness in underserved areas and trains health workers in low- cost treatment methods and brace manufacturing to end neglected Clubfoot as a physical disability; Mobility Repair Centers: Recruit and train people, most from the disabled community, to own and operate their small businesses, repairing mobility devices in semi-rural areas and expands access to care while dramatically reducing time out of work for patients and their families; Surgery Program: Provides tools, materials, and training, to local surgeons and hospitals to enhance the quality of care received by orthopedic patients in under-served communities; Online Resource and Training Hub (pilot program - Year 1): Brings technical training in mobility device creation and repair to clinicians via an e-learning environment. Without you, this work could not be done. Our annual Auction and Gala is a demonstration of the strong support we receive from this community to continue this vital work. Thank you, for so generously supporting our programs. We are grateful for YOUR partnership which allows us to serve the most marginalized and vulnerable people with life-changing treat- ments. Together with your help this evening, we can create permanent Steps to Healing! With tremendous gratitude, Heidi R. Peterson, MPA, CFRE, CSPG Executive Director

RODAIN VALCIN I P&O Technician
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN HAITI
Rodain Valcin has always felt called to help others. Though he
grew up with next to nothing—just food, basic shelter, and a
secondary school education— he was profoundly inspired by his
Christian faith to alleviate the suffering of those less fortunate
than himself.
Believing in the promise of
education to cultivate the skills
to escape poverty, Valcin first
worked to become a teacher in
Dondon, Haiti. However, after an
accident left him with serious
injuries, Valcin began to think
more critically about the impact
he wanted to make with his
life’s work. He recognized that
day-to-day life was difficult for
everyone in his town, but it was
extraordinarily so for individuals
living with physical disabilities.
This realization, coupled with
his religious conviction, led him
to change career paths and focus on providing assistance to the
physically disabled.
Starting in 2002, he began his training to become a physical
therapy assistant through the Association d’Aide des Techniciens
en Physiothérapie (AATPH). He also received training in
shoemaking, clubfoot
treatment, and
orthotic training
through workshops
hosted in Cap-Haitian.
His talent in the
profession was quickly
recognized: Upon
completion of one
such workshop, one of
its organizers donated
equipment to Valcin
as an award for his9 | STEPS TO HEALING
dedication and an incentive to keep developing his skills.
For eight years, Valcin diligently worked to hone his craft when,
following the disastrous earthquake of 2010, he was interviewed
by Ray Pye of Mobility Outreach International (MOi) to work at
a newly MOi-supported prosthetics and orthotics workshop at
Justinian University Hospital. From the dozens of candidates,
Valcin was quickly selected as one of the staff.
In the nine years that have passed since that time, Valcin has been
closely mentored by MOi-funded prosthetist, Mahamadou Soule,
to further his P&O education and practical skill set. Mahamadou
considers Valcin an essential member of the Justinian workshop
team for his diligence, reliability, and practical know-how to
determine the best possible solutions for the patients he serves.
For Valcin, the ability to tangibly improve the lives of some of the
most vulnerable members of his community, thereby fulfilling his
spiritual calling, is what inspires him to come to work every day.
Valcin is one of many technicians who, without MOi’s support,
would likely not be able to have stable employment in the P&O
field.
Thanks to MOi’s
dedication to building
the capacity of
local clinicians and
technicians to provide
quality services to
patients across Haiti,
Sierra Leone, Vietnam,
and Senegal, talented
technicians like Valcin
can use their talents
to help patients walk
again.10 | STEPS TO HEALING

OUR PROGRAMS
SURGICAL PROGRAM
MOi’s surgical program was conceived in
the early 1990s, when volunteer orthopedic
surgeons began traveling from Seattle to
conduct surgeries in remote areas of northern
Vietnam. Working alongside and providing
specialized training to Vietnamese surgeons,
these trips became an opportunity to bring
MOi founder Dr. Ernest Burgess’ vision alive by
using cross-cultural collaboration as a tool to
bring about the best possible patient outcomes.
These trips continued through 2001, at which
time MOi officially partnered with the American
Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS)
to sponsor orthopedic surgeries for northern
Vietnamese patients who otherwise would not be able to access
essential surgery due to financial and geographic constraints. The
partnership is now in its eighteenth year. Thanks to the generosity of
former POF Board member and AOFAS Founder, Dr. Pierce Scranton,
as well as current Board members Dr. Robert G. Veith, Dr. Mark Dales,
and Dr. Maryse Bouchard, MOi has changed the lives of hundreds
of patients in Vietnam. This year, MOi is proud to announce that Dr.
Veith is joining renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steve Mannion, to
pilot a similar program in Sierra Leone to give children with operable
orthopedic conditions access to life-changing procedures.
CLUBFOOT PROGRAM
MOi is a member of the Global Clubfoot
Initiative (GCI), a group of organizations who
commonly work toward a world eradicated of
physical disability caused by untreated club-
foot. Through advocacy, education, and collab-
oration, GCI partners assist under-resourced
countries by establishing a network of treat-
ment clinics that use the Ponseti method to
correct the condition, saving each child from a
lifetime of pain and difficulty walking. In part-
nership with local hospitals or clinics in each
country, MOi trains doctors, nurses, therapists,
and orthopedic technicians on the Ponseti
method, and supports local material sourc-
ing and manufacturing of the foot abduction
braces essential to the treatment’s success. MOi regularly monitors the
quality of the treatment techniques being implemented and assists
local community counselors through advocacy and outreach efforts to
educate new parents about clubfoot treatment.13 | STEPS TO HEALING
OUR PROGRAMS
PROSTHETICS & ORTHOTICS PROGRAM
Dr. Ernest Burgess founded
MOi out of a desire to assist
developing countries with
the skills and tools needed
to treat and empower
the physically disabled to
become more independent
and enjoy a higher quality of
life. Beginning in Vietnam,
MOi (then Prosthetics
Outreach Foundation), used
computer technology that
enabled local technicians to
fit thousands of amputees
with comfortable low cost
prostheses. MOi also assisted
with the local development
of the prosthetic feet, and
knee joints needed for
artificial limbs, and with
the manufacture of brace
components used for
walking braces for polio
victims. The lessons learned
in Vietnam have since been
implemented in Bangladesh,
Sierra Leone, Haiti, and Senegal, where MOi has expanded its
effort to ensure that quality prosthetic and orthotic devices are
available by local providers who are trained to address the needs
of individuals coping with limb loss in a clinically competent
manner.
Beyond MOi’s efforts to improve prosthetic and orthotic
service delivery, we work to ensure that each country has
the necessary resources — a strong supply chain, durable
materials, basic rehabilitation products, and skilled technicians
—to provide regular treatment services. Our P&O program works
to strengthen permanent clinics and workshop facilities so that
they are equipped with locally-sourced materials (to the extent
possible) and the tools needed for long-term sustainability.14 | STEPS TO HEALING
OUR PROGRAMS
MOBILITY REPAIR CENTER PROGRAM
Shortly after MOi was founded,
contributions from donors
were used to provide a
vehicle for local medical and
rehabilitation staff to conduct
clinical and repair service
outreach in remote provinces
in Northern Vietnam. Local
staff travelled thousands of
miles over rugged terrain so
that physically disabled people
in remote areas would be able
to access essential repairs,
adjustments, or replacements
of broken parts—services that
are often too expensive to
access for individuals coping
with mobility issues in rural locations. Seeing the opportunity
presented by the Vietnam program, MOi provided a vehicle
to Makeni Hospital in Sierra Leone to conduct similar mobile
outreach services.
Monitoring and evaluation of the program revealed that
many of the services provided were simple repairs and or
replacements of worn out components. To better meet this
need and move toward a model of sustainability, MOi initiated
a Mobility Repair Center (MRC) program — a network of
small, privately-owned and operated businesses, which
offer repair services, replacement parts, education around
orthopedic services, and referral to MOi-supported P&O
workshops in urban locations. MOi assists with the construction
of the small workshops and recruitment of the appropriate
entrepreneurs (many from the physically disabled community
themselves) to receive training on device repair. To date, MOi
supports eight active MRC workshops with an eye toward
expansion to new locations in the year ahead.15 | STEPS TO HEALING
OUR PROGRAMS
ONLINE RESOURCE TRAINING HUB (PILOT PROGRAM)
Mobile technology is
ubiquitous throughout
the Global South, but
in-person educational
facilities often remain
too expensive and
difficult to access for
many who live in under
resourced areas. To
continue building upon
the lessons learned
through the P&O and
MRC programs, MOi has
launched a brand new
pilot program this year,
the Online Resource
and Training Hub,
where web-based content will be made easily accessible to
rehabilitation professionals when and where they need it. “The
Hub” will fill the gap between the need for qualified prosthetic/
orthotic technicians in the countries MOi serves and the lack
of in-person educational facilities that can provide interested
technicians with the relevant educational resources in those
locations. The Hub will teach people casting techniques,
socket fabrication, prosthetic alignment for artificial limbs,
gait therapy, wheelchair repair and resolve gaps in the
supply chain. The new platform will house training materials,
resources, and short “how-to” video clips that people can
view from any computer, tablet, or personal cell phone,
even in low bandwidth settings. This collection of online
instructional content will align with guidelines identified by
the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO)
and expanded to include additional MOi-supported materials,
such as how to begin a Mobility Repair Center. User data will be
tracked so that we can monitor and evaluate user progress; we
envision that it will one day help prepare users with updated
techniques through continuing education and certification.16 | STEPS TO HEALING

PATIENT STORY
MOÏSE NICOLAS FROM HAÏTI
Ouanaminthe, Haiti and Dajabón, Dominican Republic sit on
opposite sides of the Massacre River, yet the contrast between
the two towns is stark. The river—so-named as the site of the
Parsley Massacre, where tens of thousands of Haitians were
brutally murdered in 1937 by order of Dominican dictator Rafael
Trujillo— stands as a physical reminder of the historic oppression
and adversity that Haitians continue to face. Many on the Haitian
side of the border still live in dire poverty, relying on the two days
per week that they can freely cross into the Dominican Republic
to work as day laborers or sell small goods at market.
Life on the Haitian side of the river is difficult for many people,
but it’s even harder if you’re an amputee like Moïse Nicolas.
Born with a congenital
deformity on his right
leg, doctors advised
Moïse’s parents to
amputate, saying that
he would be able to
walk more normally
with a prosthesis. As
Moïse grew and began
to walk, his parents
knew that he would
need to be fitted with a
prosthesis, but had few
resources and didn’t
know where to turn for
help.
They first looked to a
local disability-focused
charity known for its
connections to private
prosthetic technicians
in the Dominican
Republic. Although the
technicians agreed to
come to Haiti to cast
Moïse and return witha prosthetic limb, the price requested was far beyond what Moïse’s family was able to afford—even with the charity’s assistance. He continued to live without a prosthesis, unable to walk to—or even attend— school with his peers. More time passed, and finally Moïse received his first prosthesis after a friend in the community notified Moïse’s family about a workshop at Milot Hospital. Unfortunately, Moïse still faced considerable difficulty getting around: the prosthesis was functional, but lacked a knee joint. As a result, he could not move with a smooth, normal gait and walked haltingly wherever he went. As Moïse grew, he required a replacement prosthesis. Yet again, he faced a roadblock: the workshop at Milot had closed. However, a staff member referred Moïse’s family to Justinian University Hospital in Cap-Haitian, where she had heard about the prosthetic and orthotic workshop supported by Mobility Outreach International (MOi). Upon arrival at the workshop, Moïse was met by an orthopedic technologist named Mr. Isidor, who completed his plaster cast and fabricated a customized prosthesis. This time, Moïse’s prosthesis included a knee joint, allowing him to walk to school smoothly and unencumbered. Today, Moïse has returned to primary school in Ouanaminthe, where he is well-liked and earns good grades. The little boy whose disability once prevented him from attending school is now able to do everything that his classmates can do. Life in Haiti can be quite hard, but thanks to MOi’s ongoing support, the obstacles that children and adults with mobility issues face do not stand in the way of them living the fullest lives possible.
