On October 3, 12 children’s wheelchairs for Ukraine were loaded into a 40-foot container with other relief supplies and brought to the container yard at Tokyo port. Then, early on the morning of October 10, the ship with wheelchairs departed the port for Gdynia port, Poland.
It will take around two months to get to Poland via Hamburg, Germany. The container is to go overland from there to Kiev, Ukraine. We hope the wheelchairs will be delivered to children in Ukraine as early as possible.

When we count the number of wheelchairs sent abroad from our NGO, we make the datum point when the ship leaves a port in Japan. Since the ship has left Tokyo port, we enter Ukraine in our donation record, making it 26 countries. The total number of wheelchairs sent to overseas children so far is 9319.
