On July 4, we had a mini-meeting with great care of preventing the new corona infection. We held the meeting after a long interval as the state of emergency was released on Jun 20. It rained on and off all day, so we took tents from our warehouse so as not to wet wheelchairs and ourselves.
The participants were Sagami Women’s University group and four staff members, only eight in total. We took our temperatures and disinfected our hands before starting, worked with our masks on, finished packing five wheelchairs for Thailand. So far we’ve finished refurbishing 77 wheelchairs for APHT, Thailand. We’re going to have mini-meetings to finish our goal, 90 wheelchairs for APHT. We look forward to your joining our activity.

〇Our scale has improved.
Our former scale: we put a wheelchair table on the stand and put a wheelchair on the table to measure its weight. The table is not large enough for wheelchairs and also it’s not fixed to the stand. It takes time to keep a wheelchair from shaking and measure its weight.
Our new one: we’ve made a bigger stand and it’s fixed to the original stand under. Now we can measure even big-sized wheelchairs with ease and without making them wobble.
