WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT TRAINING WITH THE BROWNS



These are the receipients of the chairs and the participants who came for the assessment training. The green shirts were amazing!! The assessed 31 recepients and we gave chairs to 27 of them. Everyone who receives a LDS Wheelchairs must now havwe this assessment done before they can receive a chair.

This program is from the WHO. This is at the closing ceremony which Dad conducted. The lady on the right was our guest and a government official. She spoke on behalf of the government to accept our chairs!!




This was E. Brown's team that did the assessment on this man. The chubby man in the green shirt behind him was so funny. Elders Brown and Larson nicknamed him "Chubby Checker".







This was S. Brown's team who did the assessment for this young man. The young American girl in the picture is Ashley who is doing volunteer work for a year in Malaysia. She is sponsored by the Luthern Church. The young man at her left is Farest(?) He was in a motorcycle accident about 10 years ago. He used to work for Cheshire Homes, but now has his own business. He was our translator.








This man is Joseph Liew and he is a former engineer. So humble and appreciative of his new wheelchair!! He lives in Cheshire Homes. They are our partner in the KK wheelchair project. This was Dad's team herre who did the assessment for Joseph.












Meet the Browns. This is Kim and Gaye Brown from Kaysville, Utah. They have been to Malaysia to visit with us before. They came visit with us in KK and Kuching. They were sent to discuss with our partners the possibility of doing a wheelchair assessment project for this year. They came here on November 6 and spent two weeks here and in Kuching. Also with them was another PT guy named Alan Nybol. He is from Utah also. The Browns live two blocks from where Kellie works. We so enjoyed their visit. They actually brought me some grits and corn meal. YEA!!!!!
