May 2014 PET Appreciation and Sighting

Guatemalan Man uses his PET to advertise for businesses.

“Dear Mel,

Every time I see one of your PETs I think of you and the inspirational tour you gave us of your factory. I took this photo in the far south west of Guatemala as the guy was scooting past me. Man! What a great change of life this man has experienced with this simple help. This guy runs his own advertising business. He has a great voice and he rides around and announces deals, events or anything that folks pay him to announce. And he cannot use his legs! Amazing!

Thanks Mel, you have made the world a better place for many people.

April 2014 report by our PET Volunteer distribution Team

In Malacatan, Guatemala, one young woman came crawling into the PET distribution site on her hands and knees, a pair of sandals to protect her hands. She received a PET and gave us a determined smile.

We saw one old PET, Rodolfo Cu’s 4-year-old model, in a village east of Coban, Guatemala. He uses his PET to take bananas and chocolate to the town square where he sells chocobananas. But his old PET had a broken brake and the front tire was badly worn. He received a new PET the next morning which he planned to crank the 19 kilometers back to his home village.

“Jacob Lee Stewart, C Squad 3rd Gen gives a PET (Personal Transport) cart to a happy recipient at the Agape In Action (AIA) dorm in Quiche, Guatemala. The World Race put together 10 of these PETs and searched out those in need in the local town square and market. A picture is worth a thousand words!
