This is another in a series of audio podcasts by Chiriqui.Life. The subject of this podcast is an organization, specifically the Fundación Pro-Integración (FPI). which is better known by its popular name of "The Handicap Foundation". The underlying reason for this podcast is to share information about the Handicap Foundation that has existed here in Boquete since the 1980s.

The three people interviewed were Susan Peterson, Penny Barrett, and Loesje Sherwood. These three ladies are the primary management team for the Handicap Foundation. Below from left to right are Loesje Sherwood, Susan Peterson, and Penny Barrett in a group shot taken immediately after the audio recording session.

I have heard about the Handicap Foundation but knew little of it. Glad that you posted this. Lots of good information, and the pictures brought it home. This is important stuff for the Boquete community. Thanks to the three ladies who did the interview, but not just for doing the interview. Also for the volunteer work they do and have done for years.
