HUNSA : An Association of Nepalese Students at Hokkaido University

Wheelchair Program

Support the Disability ! Join us distributing WHEELCHAIRS to Nepal!

"Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along, too."

LET'S DISTRIBUTE WHEELCHAIRS TO THE DISABLED PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY!

A Sapporo based NGO "Go! Fly! Wheelchairs" has been kind enough providing wheelchairs for free to the students, professionals and other visitors going back to Nepal for distribution to the disabled people. We request all the Nepalese in Japan to support us distributing wheelchairs to Nepal by carrying along with you during visit to Nepal.

If you feel like contributing from your side, please contact at the following address A MONTH PRIOR to your departure. It is preferable that you distribute wheelchairs with your own hands to the disabled persons in your acquantaince. In such case, please also provide the detail information about the recepients in advance so as to manage the right wheelchairs for them.

If there is no any patient in your approach who needs wheelchair but you still wish carrying wheelchairs for someone else, we will provide you the right person. Furthermore, if you cannot carry wheelchairs of your own because of certain circumstances, but willing to distribute to someone of your approach, feel free to contact us with their information. We will try our best to manage one for them.

Regarding the excess weight that it may add to the luggage, according to our enquiry with certain airlines and experience of some of the students going back to Nepal, they may waive it if you request them in advance about the wheelchairs. Please also feel free to contact us for the information on this.
