A Catalyst team led by Dr. Jessica Tsotsoros was in Kenya recently. The team which included occupational and physical therapy professors, practitioners, and students worked closely with Kenyan therapists. Learning went both ways! Here’s a picture from a seminar on teaching parents to care for their special needs children. Look at the collaboration happening! And the huge impact on lives on the white board that the caregivers themselves listed.
The container of just under 100 Liberty chairs you all helped with had just arrived when they came. The team and the Bethany Kids team together went on a trip to fit Masai children with wheelchairs near Magadi. Pictures below.
And GREAT news. The long awaited container of BeeLine chairs arrived this week!! This was a collaborative effort that took several years to happen. Importing is NOT easy!! Because these chairs are modular the great local team can configured them to the special needs of individual children. These are the wheelchairs we hope to have manufactured in Kenya.
