Fatou Receives Her Own Wheelchair

On Monday, June 2, we picked up Fatou Jabang from her compound. Ever since Fatou fell ill seven years ago and lost the ability to walk, she has spent most of her time on the ground. Occasionally, she moves around using the lowest step of a walker. So she was absolutely thrilled and grateful to receive her very own wheelchair through Caring 4 Mobility! It’s fantastic that this organization can bring so much joy to people with what – for us Dutch people – are almost taken-for-granted aids. But in Gambia, this is definitely not something to be taken for granted! Proudly, she rode back into her own compound when we brought her home. Many thanks to Britt and her team!
