Power of Chairs

Fri, Jul 25 2:30 A.M. NH World (11.3)  

Because of the lack of resources and difficult terrain, being dependent on a wheelchair in Guatemala is a life changing experience, leading to social isolation, school and job discrimination. One organization, whose mobility challenged staff builds customized wheelchairs, changes how those who use wheelchairs see themselves and how the larger society views their capabilities. This is exemplified by their basketball team where some of the players compete internationally in the Pan American Games and Special Olympics.
