We're Good To Go With HUDA

Question:  How do you find where you're going in Amman when no one has an address?

Answer:  Pray a LOT and then use the GPS that we affectionately call HUDA.

On Monday we had a meeting with the country director for Handicap International in Amman and we drove directly to their office in Amman without any problem using our GPS with the coordinates already programmed in.

Earlier this year we had the opportunity to meet with the HI field representative in Irbid and to tour one of their nearby service facilities.  Today, the purpose of our meeting with the director and his staff in Amman was to solidify the input we have received concerning their need for wheelchairs and other prosthetic devices.  They all spoke English (sort of) and it was a delight to get to know them.

As a result of the meeting, contact was made with one of our distributors of wheelchairs here in Jordan who expressed an interest in working with Handicap International.  We feel that there is a possibility of a mutually beneficial relationship between the two organizations, as both have service centers in the two major refugee camps and communities around Jordan.

Yee Haw!!!

After the meeting HUDA took us to Fatty Dabs for the best hamburgers in the middle east and then to the ice cream shop for dessert.  It was a fantastic day.

The ride home.  Beautiful.
