Dr. Duane Anderson trying our trike on June 5th at the St. Luke's Healthcare Foundation Board Meeting.

The 16 trikes HWI just sent to Ethiopia will go to Dr. Duane Anderson who is an orthopedic surgeon at Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia.

Left to right: Ken Amstutz, Zach Brumbach, Kevin Nikolich, Alice Teisan, and Dr. Duane Anderson. Kevin Nikolich and Ken Black had the opportunity to show Dr. Anderson and two of their board members the manufacturing fixtures, and tube bender.

Ken Black is doing contracting work for HWI. Our hope is to bring Ken on as our first full-time employee to oversea the trike program. Ken grew up in Sierra Leone as a missionary kid. Then he spent a few weeks in Brazil on a short-term mission project while in High School with Don Matteson, HWI's newly elected board member. Ken, and his family served in Russia, and Guinea W. Africa for over 14 years. We are glad to have Ken on our team.

Kevin showing Dr. Anderson how to use the tube notcher, part of the trike building process.

Alice and her brain in white

Meet Kate Nyenhuis, administrative assistant par excellent. Kate has taken our last 5 years of stats and put them in a working order. Hopefully soon I will compile the data. What HWI has done in the last five years is beyond what I could have ever hoped or imagines.

We are finally back to fixing bikes and the waiting list for bikes keeps growing. We could sure use some volunteers to help repair bikes. Please pray toward this end.

Our shop is coming together. We have a piece of Kevin's workmanship in wood and organization holding our wrenches and socket parts. Come visit us on Saturday or any other time and see what God has done for HWI.
