Joel,

You may want to contact Hearts in Motion, 219-738-2336. Karen Scheeringa is
the director of Hearts in Motion. Several times a year medical/surgical teams
travel to Guatemala and provide free medical care.

In the past year, in Milwaukee, I have provided free prosthetic services for
two amputees from Guatemala. In October of this year I am spending 10 days in
Guatemala in which I will help Hearts in Motion build a rehab hospital. Our
intent is to set up year round free prosthetic services to Guatemala
amputees.

A physician from Guatemala has already been to my office and tentatively we
are planning on him visiting me in which I will help train him for prosthetic
fittings Guatemalan style.
