It was a pleasant monthly meeting day with about fifty participants in total; Sagami Women’s University group, Tama Technical High School group, Vietnamese group, Ethiopian group, and volunteering members.
Our plan for Thailand is to send ninety wheelchairs in May. We’ve asked General incorporated corporation independence support group to refurbish some of of them. We did finish refurbishing forty wheelchairs today.
Our staff put the wheelchairs in a row for today’s work before participants come.
We get lots of rag ready for cleaning. We also need various kinds of tools for refurbishing.
These are other necessities; stationery for packing and plenty of buffers for transporting by containers.
Two members from General incorporated corporation independence support group join us today with wheelchairs to refurbish.
Refurbishing work has just started. Veteran members are helpful in exchanging tires.

(Left)Mr. and Mrs. Iwai, friends of one of our volunteering members, has donated their wheelchair. It’s sad to say that their child passed away just after their new wheelchair was made. They do request that their wheelchair be sent to an overseas child and be used effectively.
