  • we need more people like these men, god bless them :)

  • thank' s infinit thank' s!!!!!!

  • Thank you

  • This video is useful

  • Thank you for sharing a good video.

  • The main reason for the African Hutu-Tutsi Wars was koltan "a mineral worth fighting over" and the suppliers for the weaponry were transnational companies. Major shareholders in these companies with interests in central African mining operations were West German and American corporations. Africa has a significant amount of the mineral used in cell phones. The "royal family:" were major shareholders in the cluster bomb manufacturers, which Princess Diana was campaigning against before her demise.

  • I wish i was more like Mel

    forgive me ..!

  • هاؤلاء يعملون عمل خيري وهم يشكرون عليه وعندنا نحن المسلمون اعمال خيرية مثلهم واكثر شكرا لهاؤلاء النبلاء

  • Awesome!!! What a great way to restore people with mobility and dignity, God bless you all!

  • That is a great story although I think the design would be safer if it were 4 wheels instead of 3. A 3 wheeler is susceptible to tipping over.

  • @capitalismforever the message u send me:I'd don't do private messages. Keep it in the room. You're now blocked so you won't be able to send me a private message. You cal dme trailer trash and than blocked me..damn.man you are small little asshole without character. take care.

  • @WielkiPolskiPatriota You're boring.

  • I wonder if there are any groups of people sitting around in other countries thinking up ways to help poor people in this country?

  • I think one of the most frustrating parts of this video is how a small group of people have come together to help others they don't even know. But within that small group that provide so much, there is not one single 'young' person in this video that is contributing. Such a huge shame that Amerikas youth is more into glam, make-up, sports, drugs, music or whatever else they choose to waste time on.

    My two cents!

  • @mx6lover- I see the point you make of the way it "appears" on the surface, but there's something you gotta realize- The older ladies and older gentlemen in this feature building these mobility units are all retirement age because people of that age are more likely to have achieved the following-

    1: The kids have grown up and moved out.

    2: The house and car(s) are either paid off or close to it

    3: Social security and perhaps even a corporate, yes corporate pension is paying them to do nothing..

  • @mx6lover- (continued) It's not that the youth is so much more into that, it's that it takes so much less time out of the day to do that than it does to volunteer an 8-hour work day. Your notion that they "should" volunteer also, is kinda like asking someone young and naive to work as an "intern". Which is also kinda like stealing, really. Youth starting out in life, in spite of what you see on TV, usually are nowhere near to paying their car off. House, forget it. Social Security? HAH!

  • @mx6lover- (continued).... Social security won't even exist by the time the "youth" are retirement age, even though they're forced to pay into it. Let's recap-

    The older generation, the one that beat the corporations into submission by buying cheaper pacific rim imports that killed the jobs for the youth in this country and are killing the taxpayer through entitlements and corruption are expecting the youngsters to pay into it and work for free. Hmmm... Thanks but no thanks.

  • @mx6lover Are you a fucking retard? We have to get paid, bitch ! Money doesn't grow on trees.

  • @yahoopl3

    Are you kidding me, you are the exact reason why shet is all fuked up. Stupid, self centered, narrow minded, money grubbing DOLT!

    Get you mind right, then come back and leave stupid ass message.

    Go back to sleep MORON!

  • @mx6lover no, you dumb son of a bitch, I am the reason why your retarded ass can sign onto youtube and use a computer....since you're a mindless twat with nothing going for him, see if you can get someone like me to send you some change every month so you can spend your useless life making scooters for the poor, you waste of space

  • can someone explain to me why Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize?

  • too bad the corporatists have taken over america, or else we would see more of this.

  • Outstanding!

  • I really like cake. I like to go to birthday parties because they almost always have cake.

  • That thing looks neat. I wouldn't mind one!

  • The money of the nobel peace prize would have helped them ALOT. And Obama got it for not being bush =(

  • @Gondee Here here.

  • @Gondee isn't that the truth,man you hit it on the nail head

  • @Gondee Pretty bad when a man who doesn't need anything wins something like that huh?

    ~fin~

  • @Gondee Bush and Obama are just puppets. Follow the strings. I hate to rain on the TV President Amerikan Idol Show, but the anti-Bush and anti-Obama crowds are idiots of a feather.

  • These are great people, Obama's peace prize was well-deserved but these guys deserve it more. Of course people like this don't do what they do for any awards, still a few bucks thrown their way wouldn't hurt.

  • incredibly moving story...what a great man.

    the world could use more men like him,

    and more journalism like this. great job arozier11.

  • This guy should have won the Nobel Peace Prize, instead of you know who.

  • @bsharker

    you mean that nigger president

  • @bsharker Damn straight!

  • Gods angels at work

  • Good

  • Sorry,  I meant God not Gid

  • You guys are the real essence of selfless love. I hope our young people can see what you are doing and run with it. I thank Gid for people like you. Proud if ya

  • this is really great!

  • It's stuff like this that make me proud to be an American! But then I remember bush, and I cry in the inside . . .

  • no young people, sad. Hardy any Baby boomers. The End of the greatest Generation. I miss my Grandparents everyday/

  • dude . I want one now!

  • This is the America the world loves! It is so nice to see this.

  • This is the kind of news we need more of.

    I know that we also need to ship more of our older wheelchairs and hosipital beds to these third world nations instead of sending them to the landfield.

  • Good job! Keep up the good work!

  • Hi there,

    If you like our cause, please join Personal Energy Transportation's Facebook Page. The link is in the description.

    Thank you.

  • Can you imagine the reverse -- that is, middle-class Black Africans selflessly helping disabled White Americans in need? I can't either.

  • Take your racism elsewhere, because you aren't welcome here.

  • @ReallyPsilly wrote: "Take your racism elsewhere, because you aren't welcome here."

    It's noteworthy that you presume to speak for everyone else that might read my comment. You are symptomatic of the cultural leftists that would rather shut down any debate rather than honestly confront the legitimate questions of dissent. The fact is, that you cannot provide an example that would respond to the question in my original message.

  • @kenp3L

    Yes, I do presume to speak for most people when I say that you should keep your bigotry to yourself.

    Leftists shutting down debate? Last I remember you made a fairly biased statement that I told you to omit. There is no debate to be had..

    And you're wrong I can provide plenty of examples, but they are subjective and you probably wouldn't take much heed considering your obvious stance on ethnic diversity.

    Your beliefs are only perpetuated by your outlook on others, not reality.

  • @ReallyPsilly wrote: "keep your bigotry to yourself."

    Obviously, you are the bigoted one.

    "I can provide plenty of example"

    Sure, you can.

  • hell yeah plus one for this guy.

  • One item missing in the video is the designer of the PET. Earl Miner designed it to be usable in areas that don't have good roads or sidewalks where a standard wheelchair can be used. It also has some cargo room so people can haul things that couldn't be done in a wheelchair. Earl & Mel West have collaborated on many projects that have a great impact on the lives of millions of people around the world. Earl Miner is a real hero who should have been included. I'm proud to be his daughter.

  • @quirkysuz

    Hi there, Earl Miner did a great job! Wow, it is really nice to speak to his daughter. I have been building this wheelchair and it is truly a nice design. I am volunteering for the PET organization in San Antonio. I am an Engineer and was wondering if by any chance you might be having the AutoCAD files or drawings for the PET. Please join the Facebook page (the link is on the description above). I am trying to help ignite fresh life and involve young people into the organization!

  • @roodge1 I don't have the drawings, but I'll check & see if I can get them in pdf or other file. Glad you are building the PETs!

    Suzanne

  • that's great and all but, what's wrong with wheelchairs? good cause though.

  • @veryhighsamurai

    wheelchairs don't work well in off road circumstances (which is most likely where most people who stepped on landmines live)

    they're also a lot more expensive to make

  • God Bless you. Awesome work

  • The world needs more people like these

  • @PorschCars I totally agree with you...and I think there are many people doing such selfless giving in the world, unfortunately in our celebrity obsessed media we don't get to hear about them and their inspirational stories.

  • @trekkian88 I wish you good health all of your life. I am a pagen oracle thats speaks thru my beadwork.

  • @trekkian88 Hey dude how bout you go and cut yourself and get a fucking life

  • I debated the existence of God with each person I encountered, especially if it meant an argument, cause at the time, I enjoyed a argument. It was only when I made the choice to examine both the worlds theory and the Bibles, that it all really began to make perfect sense. See Davey, it was no coincidence that you were in the presence of those Christians, you were there cause God wanted you to see some things. You're a soldier, you just don't know it yet! God doesn't give up on people, we do!

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    For me, I felt it was important to counter every christian I met because I believed that they were promoting an irrational methodology. But at around 15 or so, I realized that faith is a personal issue, and not my place to convince people they were irrational for their personal issues.

    So for a long time I was still an atheist, but I respected the beliefs of those who believed.

    I am a believer now. I initially opposed theism because I was exposed to corrupt religion.

  • Davey, since the last post i have had time to think and I believe I know what is going on with you. You remind me of myself when younger, I too was cocky and thought I knew it all. I never realized I was called by God to do some mighty things until I was 29 yrs old and was sick and dying from drugs. I went on the road singing professionally at the age of 15, so by 29 I was a wreck. It wasn't until I finally gave up and stopped running that my life began to make sense...Continued

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    Waah waah... The Bodhisaatva was able to give up all belongings and endured all extremes of pleasure and pain in life.

    Your solipsism is quite evident in your assumption that many others do not share the same trials and tribulations as you.

    Hence, your equation of that alongside a divine plan is ultimately a non-sequitur.

  • @senseimilla ..whatever!

  • CHECK OUT MY VIDEO'S

  • Wow! The response on this video has been amazing. Folks please join our facebook page if you are interested and like our mission.

  • God bliss this man, he is working for god.

  • This is such a nice video.

    @AngryStudioEngineer

    Hey buddy, I'm a Christian, but I can't really tell if you are or not. You certainly aren't acting very Christ like. Please, try to be respectful, and debate without ranting. Maybe some prayer will help your nerve.

  • I just turned 50 28 years ago...hahahaha I love that line

  • Good Job

  • It is people like this that actually make the world a better place. doing great things for people that they dont know for no charge.

  • I Have Music You Have Never Heard I Am Not Of The Mainstream I Am Not Of The Normal I Am Not Owned by Any Record Labels I Am Not A Slave Of The Music Industry I Am Just Me

  • What an amazing group of people and this man is a beautiful example of a HUMAN BEING

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    Don't argue with fools. The day will come for us ALL. God gave them free will. The day will come when they will be separated from God. So pray for them.

  • I am lonely, could you guys add me as friend?

  • this guy did in his garage what would have cost the taxpayer billions, HAHA impotent nazi socialists democrats FAIL

  • This is great! We need more activities like this to help out.

  • ADD ME AS A FRIEND PLEASE

  • a man with a great heart.

  • Adults with imaginary friends. Seems somewhat disingenuous to me.

  • God Bless you for doing this . . .

  • Do we see this on Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC? Maybe, but I doubt it. We see it on YouTube.  But at least we see it.

  • These people live long lives by being part of the solution instead of part of the problem in this world. I'm the 600th thumbs up, and now that its featured and attached to iGoogle and other rss feeds I figure its going to do nothing but gain momentum! Good clip good humanitarian work, and cool that its from MO my home state.

  • It seems, many today would rather leave behind a legacy of being those who destroyed the world, they aspire to be like Chavez, Hitler, Stalin, dreams of killing people off and ruling the world! If I thought as they do I would still have to say, the only real problem with their plan is, they will not be the one ruling, they will be the ones living under the iron fist they empowered! To believe that those who promote violence are on your side is simply insane! There's no loyalty among murders!

  • Everything in our universe emanates a resonate frequency, even the matter in outer space. Granted, sound cannot travel or is canceled within a vacuum, however the resonate frequencies must exist within the parameter of say a meteorite or it would simply fall apart. In other words, everything in our universe emanates sound, EVERYTHING! Now think about this, "and God spoke the earth into existence". It seems that early man either had more insight than modern man or there was divine intervention.

  • No Doubt! it takes great courage to make a stand for something like this man has. He could have attacked the guy who asked for his help like the Democrat/liberals would have, he could have made fun of their situation while he poked his chest out in pride and arrogance, but he DIDN'T! WAY TO GO GUY! YOU'RE A TRUE AMERICAN!

  • @JesusPaid4You Go shove your religion up your ass - this video is about human kndness, so dont sully this great clip with your imaginary friends.

  • @Davey850 ...I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THIS MAN CALLS HIMSELF A CHRISTIAN! ....otherwise he would be acting like you, attacking everyone, calling people names like you're in the 3rd grade, which who knows, you could still be there based upon your logic. Why so full of hatred? Tell me one instance where a Christian person did you wrong? JUST ONE! Don't tell me about what you've HEARD they've done, speak with some truth behind your words. Who & what? Tell me...can you or is it anger issues you have?

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    "Tell me one instance where a Christian person did you wrong?"

    It wasn't even more than a century ago that men were HUNG by their necks in England for "heresy".

    For a simple "thought crime" these men were put to death. In the name of "Jesus" LOL!

    Btw, the Crusades, spanish inquisition, salem witch trials, etc are all inconspicuous examples of Christian "values".

    LOL!

  • @senseimilla Oh my, once again, another uneducated liberal slobbering all over the comment board. What about my post did you not understand? Did you not read enough to see that I CLEARLY STATED, NOT TO TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE ONLY HEARD ABOUT, BUT WHAT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED? Was it to difficult for you to understand? Anyone can spew propaganda, like you are doing now, I was asking for facts and you failed miserably! I seriously wonder how some of you can remember to breath! LOL

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    "I was asking for facts."

    I gave you facts. Or are you really trying to insinuate that heresy hangings, the Crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, etc NEVER HAPPENED?

    LOL!

    Ok.

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    "Tell me one instance where a Christian person did you wrong?"

    They do people wrong every fucking day. They think everyone who isn't a Christian is going to burn in some gay hell fire.

    Wtf do you call this, love?

    LOL.

  • @AngryStudioEngineer You can GUARANTEE that? You just proved yourself to be very un-critical and prone to assume things you know nothing about. Example: I went from Sweden to California for college, my landlords were pastors in a Evangelic church. They tried to evict me, a 19 yr old, for refusing to go to their church each sunday morning. I was a paying tenant and they tried to evict me for not going to their church. I'd call that pretty fucked up, and that's just 1 of the things they did.

  • @Davey850 AWW..watch little davey actually trying to hold a debate with an intelligent individual. Hey, at least you tried right? Sweden to Cal? And that means what? I have a masters degree in Broadcast Engineering/Science Arts and another in Acoustical Engineering, does that make me an expert on religion? No, so really now, who is the intelligent person here? I can say with the utmost certainty, it's not YOU!

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    "AWW.. watch little davey actually trying to hold a debate with an intelligent individual."

    I didn't know Youtube comment sections had the best and the brightest.

    You must like debating strangers because you have an easier time of it.

    Tell me this isn't so.

  • @Davey850 Oh and BTW, why are you telling me about how you went to a college and disobeyed the rules? Am I supposed to be impressed by the fact you cannot follow instruction? I mean out of all the colleges you could have chosen, were you not intelligent enough to realize this was their policy prior to enrollment or was it something that took you a while to figure out? It seems you have a problem with rules, therefore you want to say God isn't real, as if that excludes you from anything!

  • @AngryStudioEngineer

    For a Christian, you're pretty fucking angry.

    You obviously need these little mental masturbation sessions to fluff your huge ego.

    It's very transparent.

    I mean what would Jesus say to Davey850... would he say "AM I SUPPOSED TO BE IMPRESSED BY THE FACT YOU CANNOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTION? HAR HAR I ARE SMARTER THAN YOU BITCH AND MY DICK IS HUGE CUZ I SAY SO."?

    No. I think not.

  • @AngryStudioEngineer Again you jump to conclusions, somethign the matter with your head? As far as I know, Stanford doesen't have a mandatory church-session every sunday morning. I was living in a normal apartment-complex on Miramonte Avenue, and the landlords happened to be pastors - they tried to force all the student living there to go to their church. That you even assume a liberal and atheistic Swede would enroll in a christian college makes you look very stupid.

  • Comment removed

  • Good job!

  • little does this man know many people probably call him redneck cracker white devil and honkey behind his back.

  • @qbslug ...."call him redneck white devil"...only those who are so full of hatred it wouldn't matter what he did, if he gave them his life, they would still want more! Only those who had the poorest up bringing would say such a thing about a person who has given a million times more than they have! Life is not about how many people you can put down or mooch from, it's about giving of yourself, leaving something behind that betters the world for mankind! What kind of legacy will you leave?

  • A truly noble cause worth donating too. May God and strangers alike bless you all.

  • God didn't make us, you blind ignorant soul, EVOLUTION did! The evidence is everywhere! Females weren't created from one of our ribs, that's completely idiotic! Even my 5 year old is smart enough to relize that that is physically impossible! Religion is being over run by science, it's just the facts.

  • @mistermeapmop80 ...idiot would rather say he is from a monkey than he was made in the image of God, and you say the Christians are screwed up? ROFL!!!!! Tell me, is it just you that feels this way cause I'm just wondering why the entire world, with the exception of Israel and a few middle eastern countries, why the rest of the world acknowledges BC/AD but you don't? Did you know the Bible is more accurate about how it all began than evolution? Do you even know why this is? All talk no action!

  • @mistermeapmop80 ...I'll give you one tip, Resonate Frequencies. Once you have looked into what I am saying, then tell me how these primitive minds, such as the minds of those when the Bible was written, could write down something that modern science has only discovered in the past 200 yrs? It's called, "divine intervention"! I believe in the evolution of the human mind or we would have been building cars 1000 yrs ago, but we didn't come from any monkey Idg! Also,why are there still monkeys?

  • @AngryStudioEngineer ...I know your answer ...'they were of a different species than the monkeys we came from'....ALL SPECULATIVE...ALL FAITH DRIVEN! Believe me, I went around and around with my professor in college over this and he lost the debate each time. As I stated to him, "have you or anyone you know ever actually watched man change from a monkey to a man?" ..NOOO! ...Then its safe to say, evolution is as faith driven as Christianity! Faith = believing in things unseen!

  • @AngryStudioEngineer ...opps...the "I know your answer" post was supposed to be to mistermeapmop80 not to myself! lol

  • @AngryStudioEngineer The idea the we need to "see" some something to make is true is so silly it is funny. The most powerful optical microscope can only see 0.2 micrometers which mean we can NEVER see an atom so atoms aren't real... That is crap. There are many things we can not see that we know to be true without faith as we can test and retest and receive the same results.

    BTW, love your profile that act like you voted for Obama and now think his is too leftist, that is just funny.

  • @AngryStudioEngineer I am guessing your are going for "resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies" but I am guess you are referring to something seen in the bible, the Walls of Jericho which was view as possible when using resonance frequencies of the walls to cause the wall to fall. But almost all things that can be explained by science today could be seen in the past. The theory of gravity was made in 1687, but I am sure we can fine a line in the bible about something falling, right?

  • What are you doing!?! Don't help the niggers!!!

  • Mega Ku Klux Klan Leader.....are you really a KKK leader or are you "pretending" to be one? It just does not sound nice of you if you say those things in my opinion...but that's just me ofcourse.... maybe i am the only one here....

  • this video makes me feel like a lazy worthless piece of shit.

  • Lol @ nj havens comment ... a 78 yr old legally blind man working from morning till night and all he is getting paid with is a smile on a stranger's face 5000 miles away ? These are truly selfless and noble ppl. Kudos to them and other volunteer workers around the globe. Far too many bernie madoffs in the world who take pleasure in their own success with no regard of others. If we had 1 person like those in this video for every 10 in the world... it would undoubtedly be a better place.

  • Wow. Please watch my video to help me find this girl...please spread it!

  • god bless this man

  • Cool, thanks for covering this. However, it would be even cooler if people didn't NEED the P.E.T. in the first place.

  • I'm confused as to how this design is different than a wheelchair.

  • @xnalivs the Gulf Oil rig fire/explosion/sinking was an inside job.

  • A rare breed. We really need more people like this.

  • This moved me to tears . God bless this amazingly dear mn!

  • Check out my channel for some noodz

  • Many are called , but few are choosen. Blessed are the one's who live life in LoVe ! ("SELF"less acts, for the benefit of anyone in NEED ) Proof that if there is a WILL, there is AWAY !

    True-Life Goodness , Thank's for INSPIRING ME :0 ) ONE'

  • Hello! could you add me as friend?

  • Why they are not building wealchears?

  • @IsSeeBlue too expensive

  • There should not be any of this kind of pain in this world now....but we continue to ignore the cry 's of the people God will hear there voices and then I think God has had enough that WE again don't listen

    We will soon.

  • Wait... this isn NOT a government project and they help millions of people without billion dollar budgets?! My Government has taught me this is not possible!

  • @NJHavens ...I now what you are saying but I still have to say ....No you just believe them when they say it cost that much, never once realizing they are more than likely pocketing the money or better yet, doing what the Democrats are doing with Americans money and giving it to other nations who hate America so they can build up their arsenal in order to attack us.

  • @AngryStudioEngineer Generally, when the US funds an arsenal of a country that hates us, it is not for humanitarian reason, it is to fight our enemies for US. We gave lots of weapons to Afghanistan for fight the USSR and lots of weapons to Iraq to fight Iran. It was the Reagan administration that provide weapons to both those nations during both those wars. If the administration was correct to do so is reasonable as view from today, but to say it was the Dems is just IGNORANT.

  • @NJHavens LOL thats funny, Your Government taught you that people would not get support though missionary groups? Really? Or did you government teach you that everyone deserver help and the they will provide that help though the government, as they do though social security. But no, lets wait from for missionaries to do all the good work like God intended and let all the people that they can't get to suffer needlessly in the mean time...

  • This is a great man and a great cause!

  • As someone who has been mobility challenged, this brought tears to my eyes. This man is a saint. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a wonderful, compassionate human being!

  • @jinnaraka Where is the shame in trying to 'reinvent the wheel', or in this case, the wheelchair?

    You would be amazed at the cost of a high-grade wheelchair, not to mention the extreme angle that some wheelchairs can put a person's shoulder in. Depending on the latter a wheelchair might be usable but not perfectly suited.

  • men like you are who make the difference in this world.

    may god bless what you do and guide you to his righteous way.

  • @jinnaraka hand crank propels the chair

  • Go for it man. The world needs more people like you.

  • @jinnaraka I think that P.E.T costs less than ordinary weelchair, so it makes it easier for people in Africa to get one.

  • @theseeker2k5 What does this have to do with this video? I don't see your god helping any of these people.

  • very nice!

  • @Asrarl Donuts are better

  • Comment removed

  • this guy reminds me of hank hill but he is doing something wonderful for the world it would be nice if those vehicles were power by free energy

  • its one thing to be proud of human generosity, its another to think it is restricted to America, thats just blind pride. with that said, good on this organization.

  • god bless them

  • he inspires me so much to be a more giving person

  • awesome!!!

  • god bless you all.

  • Heroes. . . however, I think these people don't do what they do to be applauded. It just feels good to give.

  • no URL???

  • good

  • Fantastic!!! What else can you say.

  • Makes you extra spissed to see those intensely obese Americans on their scooters or in wheelchairs who can't walk simply because they won't stop eating Big Macs.

  • "I just turned 50, 28 years ago" That made me laugh lol
