Receiving the “gift of mobility” in the form of a PET
(Personal Energy Transportation) – the sturdy three-wheeled, hand-pedaled
wheelchair conceived of by a group of volunteers under the direction of the
Rev. Mel West – has radically changed the lives of Ms. Thanh, Mr. Zohidov, Mr.
Salguero, and tens of thousands of others around the world.
Mr. West has had a hand in founding or serving several
notable faith-based nongovernmental organizations in a long career as a pastor
and antipoverty activist, including several years on the international boards
of Heifer International and Habitat for Humanity.
No sense in my cutting and pasting, it needs to be read in full.
