The Men's group is concentrating on making step-up stools to send with the therapists who will be teaching on cerebral palsy in African countries.
These stools fit into the suitcase well and are very useful for demonstrations with children
Alan is part of the group. He has multiple sclerosis so it was hard and slow work for him - frustrating because he had been able to to woodwork professionally before becoming ill. Anyway he persisted and made a number of step-up stools.
Now this stool in the photo is in the post on its way to Malawi where Occupational Therapist Anna and Malawians are trying to make equipment to help the children in sitting.
We are sending Alan's stool - a sign of perseverance in difficulties
What better encouragement for children with disabilities?
