We partnered with Wheels for the World (Joni & Friends) to distribute 100 wheelchairs at a primary school at the outskirts of a neighboring city. Aided by family members, all of the recipients came to us to receive the chair donated by Joni & Friends.
These two young adults with cerebral palsy were the initial reason we approached leaders in this area to distribute wheelchairs.
Every year, the Wheels for the World team combines compassion and professional focus to offer the best to each recipient. It is quite an honor to be involved with this team.
Halfway through our distribution week, the school (where we distributed the wheelchairs) invited me to teach the 6th graders about charitable work and the concept of receiving and giving. The students were very, very attentive.
They gave me thank you notes the next day. The notes themselves were written in Chinese, but the students had a fairly good use of English.
During recess time, many students were eager to see us. For the far majority of students, we were the first people they had ever encountered who were not Chinese.
