Just under a year ago, part-time Casa de Campo residents Luis Gonzalez-Bunster and his sister Carolina Gonzalez-Bunster founded the Walkabout Foundation, to promote awareness of paralysis and disabilities and fund research for spinal cord injuries.On January 18, 2009, 6 days after the devastating earthquake hit Haiti, The Walkabout Foundation travelled to Port-au-Prince.
Above is a video about Carolina’s trip to Port au Prince , which is inevitably a devastating insight into the destruction, but is also incredibly inspiring – we can help and with our help Haiti will recover. The video includes an interview with Bill Clinton, a supporter of the Walkabout Foundation, a visit to the UN complex (what is left), a make-shift hospital – it’s a sad story, but one of hope.

The Walkabout Foundation will donate 1,000 wheelchairs to Haiti within the next 8 weeks and is scheduled to deliver the first 500 wheelchairs in March. Please help the victims of the earthquake regain their mobility, freedom, and independence by donating a wheelchair today.
