Above is a picture of our wheelchair training on campus last year. In order to teach others how to use a wheelchair we have to be familiar with them ourselves. We had to learn the parts, how to assemble a wheelchair and what regular maintenance entails. We also had to learn how to navigate on different terains like grass and concrete, how to go up and down ramps, and how to do 'wheelies' to get up stairs. It was a great learning experience, and after an hour we were all extremely exhausted! I really learnt how difficult life can be for a person with a disability.
Very cool that you guys got to experience everyday activities the way disabled people do...really gives you a different perspective on the strength these people have
ReplyDeleteWe should all try to live a day in a disabled persons life!We would then appreciate our lives and how fortunate we are.Always look at those who are less fortunate than yourselfand you will realize how ungrateful you are for all your blessings
