Wheelchair for Kids
The Rotary Club of Scarborough has realised in the mid 90's that millions of children with disabilities can't get access to adequate wheelchairs and that this is impacting profoundly on these kids quality of life.
in 1998 the club started production of this specially designed wheelchair that is suitable for unsealed areas and adjustable in size to accommodate a growing child.
On the 23rd of August this year they produced their 50,000th wheelchair, and accomplishment to be truly proud of.

Di Owens and Em – Building Life Skills
Di is the Director and Em is the vice chair.  Both ladies donate their time.  They are changing the disability industry.
 
They have come to 8 markets and have made over $10 000 selling things like heat bags and planter boxes that have been made by participants.  The goal is to build a sustainable place for people with a disability to live in Kalamunda.  These are people who are trying to live independently – they just need support for this to happen.
 
Presentation included videos of participants which were inspiring, and which we have a copy of.  A wonderful evening.
