How awesome is this?

Doctors in the hospital in Blantyre, Malawi, put Chokonjetsa on a breathing machine made out of aquarium pumps. The pumps, developed by students at Rice University have made a type of CPAP unit from aquarium pumps available to low income nations...costing a fraction of what fancy CPAP machines cost.

Love to hear of stuff like this...makes my day  Very Happy
