We
delivered Don Aurelio's lower arm today! He told us that ever since we
measured him he has been dreaming about the ways he will use it! He was a
very nice man with lots of motivation. He took to using it right away.
He lost his lower arm in a machete attack years ago. I pray it's a great
blessing for him.

We were able to bless Kevin with a new lower arm today! He has a rigid prostheses that is ten years old, nonfunctional and very heavy. I just loved his reaction. He kept smiling, laughing and watching the fingers move. He is just so happy that the fingers move! Also that it's so lightweight! The dark blue color was what he wanted and he really liked it. We all really liked it so next supply order I guess a few reels will be that color. We all had a very happy morning.

Meet
our next recipient, Edwar. Also our first outside Guatemala, he is from
El Salvador. Edwar is a survivor with a very positive attitude. Men
broke into his home to murder him and rob the house. He lost both lower
arms and has many huge scars, they even tried to decapitate him. But
here he is in our little spot on the Rio Dulce. Two lower arms for Edwar
next in line!
