It’s kind of a miracle that we almost always have fine weather for our meeting. Today was also fine with some clouds, no rain, no heat, nor cold. There were about fifty partcipants: Sagami Women’s University group, Vietnamese group, Tama Technial High School group, and regular volunteers.
We have finished refurbishing 42 wheelchairs for Cambodia, making it 68 in total. We expect to finish 22 more next month and send them out for Cambodia at the end of November.
