This month’s community support selection is the 3DP4ME Project in Jordan.
Fabbaloo: Can you provide a bit of background on when and how the project was started? What was the trigger? What happened in the early days?
3DP4ME: “Our founder, Jason, always had a desire to serve people’s real human needs, so after studying Arabic, he began connecting with people all over Jordan who were working with those with physical challenges.
