WLC volunteers meet with Dr. Ebenezer Mbongo Akwanga to load a truck full of assorted durable goods for delivery to the people of Ghana. ---
The Woodstock Loan Closet, located in the barn behind the Rescue Squad, holds wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes, rollators, commodes, elevated toilet seats, bath chairs and bed rails, to loan to Woodstockers coming out of surgery or accidents. But at some point, it holds more than it can hold, and the volunteers go hunting for organizations in need of our overflow.
The organization we turned to was Med-Eq, a medical equipment donation agency that pairs a donor with a recipient. This year, our recipient was an amazing individual: Dr. Ebenezer Derek Mbongo Akwanga, a human rights campaigner, political scientist, Pan-Africanist and motivational speaker, who is living in exile in the U.S., having been tortured in a military prison from which he escaped in his homeland in the former British Southern Cameroons aka Ambazonia. Read about his current work: https://www.eahrhi.org.
On Saturday, March 13th, Dr. Akwanga traveled from Washington, D.C., via Amtrak, stopped in Poughkeepsie to rent a truck, and arrived in Woodstock to be happily greeted by the Loan Closet volunteers. Everyone soon had the big truck filled to its back door. Next month, its contents will be loaded onto a cargo ship in Virginia to begin its month-long journey before arriving in Ghana, West Africa, to assist in ameliorating health conditions there.
