Yesterday, Saturday, September 6 was a good day. It was the first time that the group received good information on wheelchair - that there are many kinds of wheelchairs for different kinds of problems (check out this blog http://dhidhakjpbandalan.weebly.com/disability/if-you-have-a-choice), that if not delivered well clients can have more problem than they should have. That there's possibility to create a good service and give good quality devices. That life of people in wheelchair can be so much better if the chairs are according to what they need. And if we continue to support local initiatives like this by local people with disability groups they can be stronger and better advocates themselves..
I was happy there are good people ever ready to support such worthy cause - WFK Inc. accepted the request I made and gave the group 10 wheelchairs through a local group in Pampanga and there is Tchai, who I only knew from common friends until yesterday, lovely lady and I see myself on her, advocating for the same causes - ideas - dream of a better life for people using assistive devices -- that it should be APPRORPIATE and of course the SKSV members - officers, board and supporters who are very receptive though limited had shown me the "can do" spirit that is why it's hard to refuse helping them.
I hope that doing this first step brings them to a bigger adventure towards "good service delivery" and they will need all your help and support to make this happen for them and for the people with disability in San Pedro.
The photos below showcase the discussion the group had with Tchai on "how to start a pilot wheelchair service delivery" ... a BIG STEP for a worthy cause! :Let's support.
