Let me understand. You are going to drive down to Nicaragua with a busload
of used, donated prosthetic limbs and dispense them to amputees who are
going to put them on and find benefit? Have you done this before? How will
you discriminate between the landmine victim and the car accident, or
diabetic? I am really interested in where this energy comes from and wonder
if it could be applied to another program that may be working already. The
solar equipment is an interesting addition. Looking forward to learning
more. J Zeffer
