The Go!Fly!Wheelchairs NPO described how they utilize volunteers to deliver used wheelchairs to those in need around the world. Cynthia, one of the foreign volunteers, explained what is involved on the part of someone who agrees to deliver a wheelchair as she has done.
We also heard from Father Manfred about the history of his House Friendship in Sapporo, which assists young people by providing a place to live in a safe environment. Then Ken, who is one of our MSC committee members, highlighted a number of organizations which utilize foreign residents as volunteers. There are many opportunities to help others in Sapporo and those will be added as soon as the details are finalized.
