Due to the corona crisis, we hadn’t had regular meetings from January through March 2022, after the extra mini-meeting on December 23, 2021. As the Semi-emergency coronavirus measure was released on March 21, we had the final meeting of FY 2021 on March 27.
We still need to be cautious about the corona virus. The participants were only Sagami Women’s University group. Three senior students joined us literally for the last time.
The students started cleaning wheelchairs in pairs. The wheelchairs were heavily soiled and it took them much longer than usual to clean up one wheelchair, but they patiently worked on the activity and finished cleaning eight wheelchairs. Good job, Sagami Women’s Uni group!
This time we tried cleaning with a steam cleaner. As a result, we were able to clean the frame and metal parts of the wheel efficiently. We also found it easy to remove mold from cushions by using both mold remover and the steam cleaner. We couldn’t help giving up removing heavy mold so far, but by cleaning this new way, we might be able to make used wheelchairs into as good as new ones and send them abroad.
