Yesterday's distribution at Hohoe saw 84 disabled people receive wheelchairs or other mobility aids, and 16 of those making prayers of commitment.  After a 14 hour day our exhausted team had a fish supper before getting some well-deserved sleep ready for setting off early today with another lorry load of ...

The Wheels team saw 87 disabled people during a long (13 hour) day yesterday, providing and fitting wheelchairs and other mobility aids as appropriate.   Today they've travelled (via Government school bus!) to another distribution site, Hohoe, and are expecting to be just as busy... Communication is only by text, so we ...

After a long wait for the container, our team in Ho are now unpacking and sorting the wheelchairs ready to begin distributing them.   The team will be working flat-out, having less than half the time they would normally have to see around 150 disabled people. There will also be an official ...

After much hard work by our Wheels team in the UK and in Ghana, the container of wheelchairs was finally released from port and is due to arrive in Ho late tonight. The team are now busy assessing the disabled people awaiting wheelchairs, and three of the team have gone to ...

Our team of 7 volunteers arrived safely in Ghana last night, and today will be visiting the President of Ghana and speaking about our work (with tv crews present!). The container of wheelchairs hasn't yet made it to the distribution centre at Ho - we'd be really grateful for prayers that ...

Friday was a chill-out day before flying home overnight.  Mid-morning, we headed off to the local market in Tema.  It was a great experience, particularly seeing all the fresh food stalls.  A highlight of the morning, and the trip as a whole, ...

Today we got a lie in, getting up at 8:00am rather than our usual 6:00am, which was gratefully received!  The morning was spent where the remaining wheelchairs were being stored.  There were only a handful of wheelchairs left but our job was to sort through them and fix them ...

We headed to Ofoase which was up towards the mountains.  It was such a change in scenery - much greener than further south.  After setting off at 7:00am on what we were told was to be a 2-3 hour journey, we finally ...

Today we had another fairly long journey to our distribution site, leaving again at 7:00am.  We were based in a church in Asesewa.  I think many of the team will agree with me that this was the most challenging day of the trip so far.  I remember the awful feeling ...

We left at 7:00am for a distribution in Winneba, just over two hours away.  We were based in an open space outside the council offices.  For me it turned out to be my favourite distribution of the whole trip — it had ...

Today the team went in pairs to several different churches.  This enabled the word to be spread more widely about the work of ‘Wheels for the World’.  Between the whole group, we experienced a whole range of churches across many ...

Today we headed to Teshie for another distribution.   We were due to be based outdoors but fortunately we were offered some shelter so we didn’t all end up with heat stroke!  It was another busy day, seeing a variety of people in ...

Today, we carried out our first wheelchair distribution locally in Tema.  We arrived at our destination around 9:00am, where there were already several people waiting for us and a sense of anticipation ...

After arriving late last night, today was spent mainly sorting through all the wheelchairs and mobility aids.  They were already colour-coded into sizes.  However, we needed to divide them up into the different distribution days.  Three of the therapists spent some time ...

On October 28th a Wheels for the World team of 11 set off for Ghana, to work with the Light Outreach, distributing wheelchairs and other mobility aids along with Bibles.  The team also plan to help in feeding and ministering to homeless people during the evenings.
