It’s a freezing cold day. Today’s participants were Vietnamese group, Sagamai Women’s University group, Ethiopian group, Tama Technical high school group, and regular volunteers; about fifty in total. We focused on Philipines and most of the wheelchairs we refurbished were special ones. Let us show them.
We finished 36 wheelchairs today. We did 9 last month, making 45 in total, most of which are much bigger than standard ones, so probably about 70 of them will be enough for the 20-foot container. We expect to finish refurbishing all 70 wheelchairs next month.
Various kinds of training instruments.

We were delighted to have Mr.Kuun for today’s work. He’s back from Vietnam, where he and his partner held their wedding. They had met at our monthly meeting and got married. He joined the activity by himself today and said the two of them would join us soon.
