Giving A Hand To Those In Need: Two UH Undergrads Share Their Gifts

Yazji and Bahrt have made it their mission to make prosthetics for people in need, even founding the first e-NABLE chapter in Texas, right here on the UH campus. The Enable Community Foundation creates 3D-printed hands and arms for those in need. They publish prosthetic blueprints online and the local chapters create them on 3D printers and put them together for their clients.
