This guy was our 2nd recipient. He was paralyzed from waist down, and so had lots of upper body strength. He wanted a regular wheelchair. Luc, our in-country leader who is in a sports wheelchair had to be called in to help therapist Jackie convince him the sports wheelchair she picked for him was appropriate. He had to wait almost the whole day for repairs and revision to chair. I am following close behind him to keep him from falling backwards while he got used to moving it. Luc and John in the blue shirt had to instruct him on how to fall properly and get back in the chair. And also to convince him falling backwards is expected and not to be afraid. Being a part of that was new and impressive.
