This price is a guide. We will confirm the real price in a proposal personal to you and your requirements.
Your team will assemble mechanical prosthetic hands using their non dominant hand, a slow and quietly humbling way to spend two hours. Each hand is donated to an upper limb amputee in a country with no health service to fall back on, giving somebody back the ability to hold their own child. 2.4 million of the world's 3 million upper limb amputees live in exactly those countries. Patience with each other comes long before patience with the parts.
