People from a Japanese church gathered the chairs and cleaned them. A group of school administrators flew the chairs to Thailand when they went to a conference there. A physical therapist from New Zealand working with refugees on the Thai Burma border drove 7 hours to Bangkok to get them, and then helped fit them to the recipients. It is amazing the different people who work together to get wheelchairs to people who need them.
