All 14 patients walked before an estimated 80 attendees with their new legs designed by TracerCAD and 13 new patients were scanned for the next effort.I have photos of all and bios. Most recipients were land mine victims.

The press event was fully attended by the international media, San Felipe Hospital and Honduran govt.officials, including Honduras Vice President, Armida de Lopez, Honduras First Lady Carolina Maduro and A.I.D representative John Rogosch.
We can send upon request all relevant photos that you are free to use for publishing to your internal news letters, publications or press releases.



Jan Saunders, LP of O&P Fabrication in Orlando, Florida and Eddy Fuentes CPO Shriners Children's Hospital in St. Louis and Barr Foundation's South and Central America Project Coordinator, and Julio Fuentes, Guatemalan prosthetist and Eddy's brother, have done a remarkable job in demonstrating and promoting the TracerCad system to the Honduran govt. and hospital officials, as well as donating their own time in the treatment of 60 individual Honduran amputees to date whom have been successfully rehabilitated by the Barr Foundation and thru the generosity of our Hope Donor Members.
Jan scanned 13 more amputees for sockets on June 28th. He actually provided instructions to the First Lady how the system worked by having her scan one patient!!

The TracerCAD computer technology allows the time involved to design and fabricate the sockets, to be reduced significantly while producing excellent product. The OWW Alpha Liners have proven very comfortable to the patients and compatible to the TracerCad designed sockets.

Thank you for your continued support.

Personal regards and gratitude,
Tony Barr
