news.msn.com/science-technology/haitian-orphan-gets-nations-first-3-d-printer-prosthesisMarshall and van As worked for months to design a 3-D print prosthesis for the Haitian boy.
"Stevenson is handicapped in a small way, in a way that’s not as bad as some of the other children, yet his hands are holding him back. He can do so much more. He has the potential," said Marshall.
After three attempts, the skeleton-looking prosthesis was ready and shipped to Haiti where Bernard Mevs hospital medical team fit Stevenson with it last month.
Finally, something good in the news about humanity.

Technology used for the good of humanity. By the time this boy reaches adulthood, the technology will probably be superior to how he is benefiting from it now.
