A Great Day For Everyone
They came that day from all corners of Salima District in eastern Malawi. It was not only a big day for those with mobility problems, but it was a big day for the blind, albinos, the deaf, the dumb and any other disability known to man kind, including even the elderly and the orphans who were present to receive from Kuthandiza Osayenda Disability Outreach (KODO) the various items the Malawi Project and its supporters had recently sent to Malawi. After the shipment arrived KODO organized the ceremony, which was presided over by the District Commissioner, in order to give the much-needed humanitarian aid to these most needy citizens in the district. The items, which ranged from beddings, clothes, shoes, wheelchairs, crutches, walking sticks, frames, shower seats, toilet-seats, vegetable soup, and kitchen items, were freely donated to these people. It was a joyful day to see happy people receiving things some of them have never used before in their lives.

"To day I can now move around Salima Town to all of the places I have never seen, since the day of my birth, because of mobility problems. Now that I have this wheelchair, I need to see this town," says Mr. Husen Selemani as he pulls away in his wheelchair carrying his bag packed with other items heading for Salima Town.
Four hundred (400) people benefited from the shipment of supplies on this day alone, with so many of them having multiple disabilities, i.e. no legs, no arms, blind, dumb and deaf in one person.
