More visits and more APT

Making an insert for a wheel chair - also useful for use on an ordinary kitchen chair. A suggestion from Renate (physiotherapist) so Joy is taking one to Uganda for on Sunday 16th Jan and we thought it would be very useful here.

Every day we are making as well as visiting.
Richard making a ramp for tilting a chair - please not the use of tights kindly donated by Margaret and the WI!

People are very active in Accra
Real Tro-tros - always busy in Accra
Dorinda and Anna with tro-tro walker (wheels in the bag - still need adjustment)

At Korle Bu, the main teaching Hospital in Accra there is a new Paediatric Physiotherapy Unit - very smart and parents bring children every weekday. We spent a morning observing and playing with the children
One little boy had played a lot and fell asleep
There are lots of children needing chairs and standing frames. Sandra, the physiotherapist requested we help with a chair for this child. We are going work on making one with Dorinda
Please note the Paper Furniture box made by Libby- Sandra loves it and wants another!
Just in case anyone is wondering - it is not all work
Lots of wonderful fruit !
