For 20 years, an invention created by three United Methodist men has been changing lives. As of 2015, 50,000 disabled persons in 100 countries have received a device called a PET. Personal Energy Transport (PET) vehicles are all-terrain wheelchairs, designed for dirt roads and rugged places in developing countries. They require no motors or electricity. The mobility offered by PETs can bring people crippled by polio, land mines, or birth defects out into the world where they can provide for their families. The PET Mobility Project relies on donations and the work of dedicated United Methodist volunteers who meet weekly to build PETs to be shipped all over the world. “You can go and spend a couple of hours and go home and feel like you did something really productive for somebody you’ll never meet, who you’ve made a life-changing event for,” says PET volunteer, Roger Hofmeister.
