RGV PET INTERNATIONAL

PET International (http://petinternational.org), whose name is an acronym for "Personal Energy Transportation", is a worldwide mission organization devoted to producing transportation vehicles for use by people who are unable to walk.  These vehicles are often hand-powered by their owners, or can be pushed by someone assisting them.

The Rio Grande Valley Branch of PET International , in Mission, Texas, will provide CUPS volunteers with the opportunity to reflect the love of Jesus Christ by bringing mobility and dignity to those in developing countries who are unable to walk. In PET's fully equipped warehouse, volunteers can build and paint these "carritos" as they are called in Mexico.  Four PETs have been placed with mobility challenged youth and adults in Valle Hermoso by CUPS.  Many more PETs go to Mexico for distribution both along the border and in the interior of Mexico.

PET can accommodate 12 volunteers. Their minimum age is twelve, with direct adult supervision.
