During the past year the Rotary Club of Johannesburg New Dawn has donated 18 wheelchairs to disabled patients in clinics, hospitals and communities across the city.

22 February 2011

    

The project is coordinated by Professor Lucille Blumberg, member of New Dawn and also deputy director of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases.

Many of the wheelchair donations have been made to patients in Daveyton, in partnership with Luschka Dearle from Rita Henn Pysiotherapy Practitioners. Through their volunteer outreach programme the organisation provides a service to people in need in the community.

"This project has made a significant difference to the lives of so many individuals." said Dearle.
