Refugee Rights Action Network WA
Dear People,
We need support to get more childrens wheelchairs to Iraq, and more.
Recently, I put out a fiund raising call for assistance so we could transport childrens wheelchairs to Iraq – we had intended they leave for Iraq in late November however after raising more than $4,000 sooner than expected we have organised for the shipment to head off – they are now at the wharf, after Trinity Grammar students packed the container for us at the Wheelchairs for Kids factory – and sooner than expected they’ll be in Iraq.
We are now striving for another load to Iraq, and for the goal for wheelchair assembly factories in Iraq, in the hands of Iraqi folk, so as to be able to ship with each container 1,000 unassembled chairs rather than 330 pre-assembled chairs, and hence help more children.
Many of you may know I coordinated one of Australia’s computer recycling program, if not the largest, donating more than 55,000, mostly to WA, and to many overseas destinations, and we have a goal of 1,000 recycled computers to Iraq.
Anyway, as progressive and caring types I am asking if you can donate something towards the shipment of containers of the childrens’ wheelchairs. Any financial contribution will be obviously much appreciated.
Gerry.
