A lot has happened in the last quarter including receiving great pictures of children receiving PETs in Kenya. We have ramped up child PET production to 15 a week. In September a MO family drove a truck and trailer to OH to pick up #465 steel, rear frames painted and ready to use in assembly from volunteers there. It's a 2 day trip. We cover travel expense and they donate their time.
August email report (Notice 2 blue,
child PETs in picture made at our shop.):
“These are all abandoned
children. These were taken by Dr. Doris
Phillips at Kisoto where all the children have mobility disorders, Cerebral
Palsy, Hydrocephalus and convulsive disorders. In addition to the carts,
we left them with medications to prevent seizures and worms. This is in a
tiny remote area. There is another school for older children with similar
mobility issues.

July 2013 shipped 20 child PETs for Lions Club Dist 324 B4 in India.
August 2013 shipped 20 child PETs to MedShare in GA for their worldwide shipments.
August 2013 shipped 40 child PETs to Gleaning for the World for their worldwide shipments.
September 2013 shipped 10 child PETs for the Dominican Republic.
October 2013 we plan to ship 20 child PETs Phillippines thru Universal Heart, first time partner.
At $250 each to buy the off the shelf supplies, run the warehouse and pay for shipping, it takes a lot of funding to make these shipments become a reality. With more gifts, we could build more to meet demand. Thank you for all your generosity and care for those children who need mobility around the world.
Sincerely,
Kathy Maynard, PET MO-Columbia
