Wheelchair Humanitarian Project 

In this container we (LDS Charities) delivered 268 wheelchairs, plus walkers, crutches and canes to the people of the Marshall Islands.  Half of the container was off loaded in Ebeye and the balance we shipped to Majuro.  This picture is of us holding a rough rider wheelchair not put together with individuals from the Ministry of Health.

One of the conditions of the church providing the Wheelchairs is that church provide training on how to assess and fit the individuals to a wheelchair. So the chair will meet their needs and not distress them.

Trainees get the feel of the wheelchair in Ebeye

We held a clinic on the last day of training where those that needed a Wheelchair came and was assessed and fitted for a wheelchair if it was in order.

We wanted to celebrate the training so what better way than having cake
