The Japanese government has decided to extend the period of the state of emergency until the end of August as the new corona virus infection increased rapidly in July. The concerned areas are Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, as well as Tokyo.
We do our activities in the Kanto area, which is the central part under the influence of the state of emergency. So we cannot hold mini-meetings for our main activity, refurbishing wheelchairs, until the end of August. On the other hand, we intend to receive wheelchairs as far as the warehouse has room for them. There’s a possibility of infection when we go collecting wheelchairs, but we continue collecting, taking appropriate measures for safety. As for offering wheelchairs, please contact the secretariat in advance.
Although all our activities are restricted due to the global spread of the new corona virus infection, we won’t give up but try to keep collecting wheelchairs and seek for possible donation plans. I look forward to your continued cooperation in the future.
