PETs used in Guatemala
PET International commissioned a person to go to Guatemala and find out how PET carts were holding up and how they were changing the lives of recipients there. Here are some examples:
1. Adrian Mato Ramone works at a pizza shop. He is able to ride to/from work, and works at the shop while sitting on his PET.
2 Peris Lucas is excited because she can ride her PET to the river and is able to bathe daily.
3. Bernaber Gonzales makes brooms and sells them from his PET at the market. He travels about an hour each way to get to the market from his home.
4. Louis Mario rides his PET to/from school each day and is able to participate in activities with his friends.
5. Mario Yener is a sales and news promoter around Tecun Arnun. He uses his PET to promote local stores in his area and earns enough money to support himself and his mom.
6. Don Miguel built a platform to fit around his PET so he is able to sell firewood and fish in his area.
7. Sesa Promae is a pastor and serves his church members in Tecun Amun.
8. Vincete Escobar Cardona is able to farm and go to market for his family.
9. Yeyson Calel is able to visit his grandmother daily. He rides to the neighbor's houses to pick up children and take them to school, which he loves doing.
