Immobility in children in developing countries without adequate healthcare causes major drain on families and communities, our wheelchairs give them back their freedom.

Meet our Associate Member David Youssef ...
David Youssef from Helensvale joined the Wheelchair Team about a year ago. His work mainly involved disassembling bikes and collecting donated bikes. Just recently, David assembled his first wheelchair—a milestone he was proud to achieve!

David enjoys the opportunity to help others; he especially values working alongside Bryan Tuesley and the great camaraderie within the team.

When he’s not working at the shed, David volunteers as a boat crew member with Marine Rescue Queensland at the Southport West base, helping support the organisation’s work on the Gold Coast waterways.

Very satisfactory result from the Big Bike Sale last Saturday: just a tad over $3,900 from a total of about 46 bikes sold. Good stuff! Where do the bikes come from? Sometimes, a donated bike is too good to be dismantled for wheelchair parts, so our volunteers lovingly refurbish it instead.

Many thanks to all the helpers (you know who you are), and particularly to Don Glover from 4CRB, who also arranged for the event to be promoted on his Radio Station, free of charge!

From wheelchairs to space ….
Scarlett Hamon, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Brisbane visited our club as part of Duke of Edinburgh ‘Duke 4 Volunteering’ program. She chose our club after reading our values and goals online.
She joined the volunteers for morning tea and commented on the team-based project and networking she witnessed. Also she appreciated Bevan Sim’s friendly and informative introduction.
Scarlett aspires to become an aeronautical engineer as she is fascinated by space.
We were all impressed in meeting with Scarlett. She is an intelligent and aspirational leader with a focused vision for her future.
Scarlett would like to leave her mark by painting stencils on our wheelchairs.

Rotary Clubs join forces to ship wheelchairs to Papua New Guinea
Boxes of our wheelchairs were loaded onto a shipping container bound for the Western Highlands of PNG, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Toowoomba. They will be delivered next month.
This is an example of how our clubs are building better friendships aimed at providing goodwill that is beneficial for the community.
Thanks to Peter May, Sean Rooney, Mark Zilmark and David Snow.

Last week, Sr Liz Kane and Mary Lepp from the Sacred Hearts Surfers Paradise Parish delivered another large donation of hand-woven, hand-knitted warm quilts and beanies to be included with some of our wheelchair shipments destined for cold climates, such as the hinterlands of South Africa. Thank you!
