SYRIA
Latakia, the Syrian port city was shipped with 340 rough terrain wheelchairs for children who are in need by the dynamic fundraising passion of Shaoquett Moselmane in collaboration with “Wheelchairs for Kids” organization. These rough terrain wheelchairs featured with puncture proof tyres and are contrived to last through childhood.
When mainstream media came to know that a container was shipped to Syria, two major Australian news titles continuously signified that this action could be viewed by Australians as a misdemeanour of helping “the enemy”.
“We are not armament smugglers, in fact, we are helping children, the amputees.” Gerry Georgatos from Wheelchairs for Kids said in the response.
The catastrophe cannot be illustrated by mere words. That mattock job never took place. But soon after, Latakia was shipped with another container of rough terrain children’s wheelchairs.
CHINA
In July 2015, Shaoquett and Gerry Georgatos from Wheelchairs for Kids visited Shanghai where they were taken on a visit of a Shanghai orphanage. This is the world’s largest orphanage to feed and nurture abandoned babies and toddlers with debilities.
Moreover, they shipped over 500 children’s wheelchairs to provincial China in 2015.
When they were on their visit to the orphanage, they learned that 160 children were in need of wheelchairs, despite the fact that 2,000 abandoned children, 95 precent with a disability are being taken care of. They looked at each other and then made the promise to the orphanage director, Lucy, that they would fulfil this need.
Months later, Wheelchairs for Kids shipped through another container to Shanghai with more raised funds.
