We were very intrigued when Jacob from Grade 6 came to visit today. He and his grandfather showed us his prosthetic arm and the attachments Jacob uses to do lots of different activities. I forgot to take pictures but here is the link to the site that has more information about CHAMPS (Child Amputees): http://www.waramps.ca/ways-we-help/child-amputees/ Thanks to Jacob's grandfather for also bringing freebies from the War Amps!
