We’ve promoted the project of sending special instruments to Malaysia. The request of our partner in Malaysia, Mr. Syed, former representative of Aleps Dream Factory, was to send him special instruments used for medical treatment rather normal wheelchairs. What we have prepared are as follows.
sitting-aids walkers standing-trainers bath chairs orthoses
12 19 5 6 183
Besides the above instruments, we’ve sent 28 normal wheelchairs, 12 buggies, and 10 car seats. The ship carrying these devices and instruments left the Port of Tokyo at 19:00 on February 27, expected to arrive at Port Kelang, Malaysia, about March 15.
We hope that this donation will help Mr. Syed expand the scope of his support for children and enable more children to lead healthy daily lives.
This brings the total number of wheelchairs, buggies, and sitting-aids sent to Malaysia to 1,648 (not including the walkers, standing trainers, and other equipment that were donated this time). Click here for donation record graph.
