The Midday Rotary of San Miguel de Allende celebrates 18 years of service with international recognition and a new project in conjunction with Rotaract SMA: together they are looking for beneficiaries for the donation of prosthetic hands from the LN4 Hand Project foundation in San Miguel de Allende and its surroundings free of charge and invite them to enroll in the program.
The LN4 prosthetic hand is low-cost, lightweight, durable, and functional. Ernie Meadows, Michael Mendonca and Maurice LeBlanc, an award-winning mechanical engineer specializing in assistive technology with a special interest in upper limb prosthetics, worked to develop a hand that could be manufactured cheaply while maintaining a high level of quality.
