We did loading 90 wheelchairs into the container for Vietnam on November 7. There were Akishima Chuo Rotary Club members, our president, and some of our directors coming, and all of us helped with the work.
Akishima Chuo Rotary Club members joined our monthly meeting in August(the article). They will be attending the hand-over ceremony in Vietnam, too. Akishima Chuo Club has also been supporting our activity through donation every year. We really appreciate it.
The container was transported from Hamura to the container terminal of the port of Tokyo. It is scheduled to be shipped on 14th and will arrive at Hai Phong port, Vietnam around November 24.
This marine transport is for free thanks to the APL. The APL sent some employees to our monthly meeting in September(the article). Also they held a explanatry meeting at the container terminal for us twice(the first, the second). We’d like to express our gratitude for their various kinds of support.
