Wheels of Hope project


Over at TourWatch, there's always something going on. Travel stories, efforts toward better treatment on airlines, and many other topics of interest.

I found a very interesting article about Wheels of Hope, which awarded 52 wheelchairs to allow people with disabilities to become self reliant. Its vision is 'of a sustainable enterprise providing employment for PWD and an ideal venue for holistic development of their physical, mental, economic, social and spiritual well-being."

The wheelchairs are essential equipment that will allow these folks to head toward a productive and better future. In the photo, three recipients of wheelchairs are lined up, shaking hands with those who run the project at the ceremony where they received their chairs.

What a great endeavor--how few people realize how difficult it is to get mobility equipment, and the right mobility equipment. What a great group to perceive this need.
