The Faces with the Wheelchairs

All wheelchair recipients have an amazing story of their own.  They are humbling and inspiring. We can only post a few of their faces.   We love what we do, and we are glad to help these faces lead more independent lives.

Isn't this boy darling?  He told us he had muscular dystrophy.  He will probably only have his wheelchair about 4 or 5 years before his disability will be so severe that he won't be able to be in a wheelchair.  We are not always sure that they even really know what their exact problem is.  Sometimes they are misdiagnosed or not even diagnosed at all.  We do what we can to make them happier.

This family is semi-homeless.  They live under a tarp, and dad lives 24 hours a day in his wheelchair.  You would never know with the smiles on their faces that their lives are so humble.

The assessors go to work to get just the right chair for this cute boy.  He will finally have wheels and then he can move around and even go to school.  He will finally have a little independence.

This little woman might not have the use of her legs, but she has her pride.  We love these sweet people who hold their heads up high despite the difficulties of their lives.

We have learned more than we have served. Service is like that.   Besides wheelchairs, we help with metal stoves with chimneys, green houses, bio-gas digesters, latrines, neonatal resuscitation training programs, computer training for the blind and the disabled, and knitting and sewing classes for abused and disabled women.  We even proofread social studies books in our free time.  We are busy, but if is nothing in comparison to what needs to be done here.  We live well.  We have all that we need.  But we need others to serve.  The other senior couple is going home with no replacement in sight.  There is more than enough work for 2 couples.  So if you have a feeling for doing a great service for a very humbled nation, put in your papers.  Then you will know what we know.  We love God's children.  Just look at their faces.
