October 26, 2022:   A great day today!

Today deliveries of new arms were made, thanks to the team for making the dreams of getting a prosthetic come true and being able to share with each of them.

@HANDS THAT WORK @- Always Supporting.

United we make a difference!

Thank you to the Guastatoya group.

October 14, 2022:  It's been a bit of a crazy time with the bad weather, but I have got the thermoforming done on the last two arms of the current group and they are now being assembled by Mónica García!

 

October 10, 2022:   It's just a bit wet. Main docks still dry but dingy docks under. Walkways and yard under. But the big genset is keeping us powered and the internet has been restored. We'll see how much it comes up today. Honestly we have it very easy compared to many right now.

Office note:  Many people in the area are experiencing bad flooding in their homes, roads are washed out in many places and people are just waiting until the bad weather passes so they can focus on cleanup.  IMS continues to work on parts for future arms as there's not much else we can do until this weather depression has passed.

 

 

October 8, 2022: A rainy day ahead of a tropical depression. Most likely there will be flooding but being aboard a boat has it's advantages. Printing parts for fourth arm!

Here's a video from "Hands That Work  Guatemala" showing the work that IMS has helped do over the last year...as Eric says, "It's been quite the year!"...

September 30, 2022:   Busy day today! We delivered one arm and measured for four more which I will start printing this afternoon. Our friend Karla Quiroa from Guastatoya is working hard getting people what they need and brought a van full! Now to get back to printing. We tried for a group picture but it looks like someone got cutoff. Our apologies! Lots of happiness today.

 

 

 

 Update September 23, 2022 (update from Eric):

Good day. We were able to give two arms to a double amputee! This should make his work so much easier as a disaster relief coordinator. We were able to help someone who helps others!
