On January 15, 2025, we went to Hidaka Special School in Hidaka City, Saiatama Prefecture, to receive 21 wheelchairs and other equipment. The weather was fine and we were able to load the truck in a short time and trasported them to our warehouse in Haijima.
When we arrived, the teacher and PTA board members were waiting for us with the wheelchairs lined up in the school yard. The wheelchairs were stored in the storage room behind the gymnasium and they were in good condition.
There were a total of 21 units: 12 wheelchairs, 2 buggy-types, 2 sitting-aids, 4 walkers, and 1 car seat. Among them were two unusual ones:wheelchairs for sports use. We would like to find an overseas partner that can make use of these sports wheelchairs and deliver them.
Thankyou, Hidaka Special School.

The school was easy to find with information boards placed on the main road nearby. Buses used to transport children and students lined the large grounds.
