This fellow, Jose Rigoberto, lives up on the mountain in a simple house. He and his brother tend a fantastic tomato patch---over an acre and in great shape. Jose was born a dwarf with some physical deformities. He was referred by our February medical team as a candidate for a PET-Personal Energy Transport. We took him one, but with his short arms and legs he could not use it. He simply smiled and said, "give it to someone else who can use it". We did give it to another man who could use it, but I will be working with the PET people to get him a specially made one if possible.

We had quite a hike up to his house. He was a gracious host, getting stools for each of us and showing his big smile as he talked. We could have spent hours with him but had to keep going.
