Wheelchair Project
In February 2013 after many months of receiving donations of wheelchairs, walking aids, crutches and medical supplies a container was sent to Mozambique; also packed with some Gospel tracts, toys, clothes and a motorbike. It was amazing to see these arrive in Mozambique in May of the same year. Winter months of adjusting and checking, labelling and counting paved the way for many items that will benefit peoples lives in this country. To go from a cold warehouse to basking in the Mozambican heat under palm trees took a lot of time and effort on the part of many volunteers and a huge thank you must go to them. Also thanks to Mooring Mediquip, Ballymena for sourcing parts for the chairs, the Erne Hospital for their generous donation, the Red Cross, YMCA Antrim for chairs, our shipping company and all the individuals who gave wheelchairs and supplies. These items are now starting to be distributed and used for God's glory in Mozambique.
As well as the funds raised through the shop. Girassol also runs special fundraising events to support specific projects and to have some fun!
