The Western Australian Wheelchair for Kids charity organization has said it will send 160 wheelchairs to children suffering from the effects of Agent Orange (AO) in Vietnam. This was announced during the recent visit by Vietnamese Consul General in Perth, Le Viet Duyen to the Rotary Club of Scarborough, Western Australia, which is donating these gifts.
Rotary Club Project Manager Gordon Hudson said the donation is one of the activities to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic ties.
The wheelchairs are scheduled to arrive in Vietnam this September and the transport fee will be covered by Danny Low, who has been involved with many charity programmes in Vietnam over the past 20 years.
The Wheelchairs for Kids program was established in 1998 and has provided around 22,000 wheelchairs for poor and disabled children in more than 60 countries around the world, including 5,000 for Vietnamese children.
