Through the generosity of the Gold Coast and Gladstone Rotary clubs in Queensland, with the brothers of the Missionaries of the Poor, we distributed around 20 ‘village wheelchairs’ to physically challenged and house bound residents in Maliana and Saburai (Timor Leste). In addition, we gave to each household, a rosary, and a consecration poster of ‘Our Lady’ kindly donated by Australia Needs Fatima. These gifts were so much appreciated by the recipients in these poor communities. A wheelchair is a real blessing for the physically challenged in the third world.
