Corazon a Corazon volunteers are now busily boxing up items to send to the Moskito Coast of Honduras at the Med Now Warehouse (located at 2705 Airport Road in Dalton, Georgia). 

 "We are particularly excited about this shipment because it's coming right here at the holiday season," stated Dr. Steve Foster, founder and CEO of Corazon a Corazon.  "Our focus for this year has been to address the needs of the crippled Moskito Indian divers. With this most recent donation by the PET people we will essentially be able to meet the needs of most of the paralyzed divers in the Moskito Coast of Honduras."

The "PET" Dr. Foster refers to stands for "Personal Energy Transportation" wheelchairs.  PET is a non-profit organization that builds all-terrain wheelchairs to benefit men, women and children around the globe that have lost the use of their legs due to land mines, accident, injury or disease.  For more information on the PET Project visit www.giftofmobility.org.

 A truck coming from Florida will deliver 45 PET wheelchairs to the Corazon a Corazon warehouse on December 5.

"Next year we will focus on other communities, but the container going down in December will enable us to complete our focus there," Dr. Foster said. "The pace is finally shifting from diving for lobsters to trapping for lobsters. We're happy to be a part of those changes."

Corazon a Corazon also plans to establish a wood shop for the lobster divers along the Honduran Moskito Coast. (More on this soon!)

In addition to the wheelchairs, other items to be shipped to Honduras on the container include tools, clothing, toys, and shoes.
