Most of the wheelchairs our NGO send to overseas children are donations from special schools in the Kanto district. They give us five to six hundred wheelchairs every year. In December we got offers from the following three schools.
– 12/2 Ryokuseikai Seiikuen Center 25 wheelchairs
– 12/18 Chiba Sakuragaoka special school 40 wheelchairs
– 12/23 Kamakura School for the disabled 11 wheelchairs
Now that we got 76 wheelchairs this month, the number of the wheelchairs we’ve got from April through December in 2019 is 380 in total.
We promise them to refurbish the wheelchairs completely in our activity and send them to needy children abroad. We also thank them for offering their wheelchairs and giving us help.

We went to Ryokuseikai Seiikuen Center in Kodaira, Tokyo, on December 2. It’s a day care center for children with disability.

(Right) Mr. Koizumi, a physical therapist of the center, had cleaned the wheelchairs, removing mold since they had been stored in the basement for a long time and full of mold. The wheelchairs were very clean and we took care not to make them wet.
