The community, in this way, may be aided in their efforts to support their families. None of this was possible, though, without Bob the ‘Re-Builder'. Mr. Bob Walsh serviced and repaired (or in some cases resurrected from the dead) many of the machines before they were shipped over to East Africa. Without his dedication to helping others we wouldn't have been able to send out all 50.
