The wheelchairs shown in this clip was manufactured by volunteers at the Wheelchairs for Kids workshop in Perth West Australia. The wheelchair was specifically designed for rough terrain use in developing counties. Since 2015 WFK's have donated 2190 wheelchairs to Malawi and many more to Kenya Uganda and Zambia. . Everyone within WFK's is a volunteer no paid staff including the CEO . A A200 donation will get a WFK's wheelchair to a child living with disabilities in a developing country. You are an inspiration Talandir we wish you the very best in the future.see httpswww.facebook.comwheelchairsforkids for more information.
You will achieve bigger things Talandila never give up.
