Recently, some of our wheelchairs made their way to Lelepa Island, Vanuatu (about 30 Km north-west of Port Vila). Organised by a Mr Brad Casey, they were delivered to six disabled people who, until now, had no mobility at all. Below is an extract from a note from Brad:
Hi guys
I really thank you for all of your help with the wheel chairs for Lelepa island.
The chairs which were delivered yesterday and were so warmly received by the 6 people it was really touching. The boy who got the chair name is Kiki, he is 17 years old and has some physical and mental difficulties. As is has gotten older it has become more and more difficult to leave the house as he needs to be carried, so most of his time is spent on a mat in the main living area. He was so excited to get the chair he could not stop laughing and waving his arms around. The difference the chair has made to his life is truly incredible.
Again thank you.
Regards
Brad and the Lelepa Village (and Kiki)
