It's really a wonderful thing when a wheelchair donated in Japan makes a difference of the life of someone in another country who needs one.  This wheelchair was given to a man in the Philippines who used it till he no longer needed it.

It was then given to a gentleman who had a stroke.

He has now recovered and it's now being used by Arnel, 29, who has cerebral palsy.

Jeremy Lester Peter has had cerebral palsy since birth. He is a 16 year old boy, studying in special school. Until recently, he had been using the centre's wheelchair to go school everyday. Therefore, he really needed a wheelchair to go to school. Now he can move around by himself in the school without depending to others.

Chow has had cerebral palsy since birth. He is a 12 year old orphan. He was sent to a centre by his aunt. His aunt has cancer and cannot take care of him anymore. However, he is a very cheerful and friendly boy. He really needed a detachable wheelchair to go to primary school. Now he can move around by himself in the school without depending to others.

Nino is a 7 year old boy with Cerebral Palsy.  The father is a construction worker, so work is seasonal. 

The mother says he is comfortable in his new chair and she is able to take him outside which allows her to do more chores.
