Special Needs Project – Rogers is the latest recipient of a new wheelchair. The sturdy wheelchair was manufactured locally and is made to cope with the difficult terrain. Placing orders locally also provides additional work for local craftsmen.
The acquisition of a wheelchair is a life-changing event for the youngsters and families involved. Rogers is pictured (left) hard at work breaking rock into smaller pieces for ballast - highly demanding work for someone in good physical health. 
Soon after the above picture was taken, Rogers was able to take delivery of his own new wheelchair. He is also pictured holding a home educational pack provided by GC which will encourage his learning at home. Rogers delight is evident and the wheelchair will promote a greater sense of independence and dignity. Special thanks to all who have fund raised to support this important project.
