Here is a sad story with a message of HOPE! Carpo is a poor man from the mountains of Ranquitte, Haiti. He was born with a crippling deformity, and his only method of getting around was using a couple of sticks and a plank of wood! We are so thankful to give him this PET bike that was created by Personal Energy Transportation. This bike came from Tom Behrens out of the Tampa, Florida PET Workshop. We especially want to thank Barbara MacMannis, our Medical Administrator and Missionary, who traveled six hours one way to this village. She went with rice and beans to hand out to the physically disabled people in this area. She also brought back a mother with a baby who will be undergoing heart surgery. Again, we thank PET on behalf of “Carpo” and his family of five! Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Carpo makes his living from braiding pieces of palm branches into rope to sell. Sherry
