Speaking at the ceremony, Envoy Nagai Katsuro from the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam hailed the organisation’s voluntary activities in the past few years, hoping that the wheelchairs will facilitate the travel of disabled people in the locality.

The organisation has donated wheelchairs to 20 countries, including 600 wheelchairs to Vietnam. In the coming time, it will call for further support from donors to deliver more wheelchairs to needy people.
