Greetings and happy Friday!

For today’s Friday story, we are traveling to discover how a tiny addition to the Kamuzu International Airport has made a giant impact. When we travel I bet we all take for granted that if we are with a loved one that is physically handicapped in some way, there will be a wheelchair waiting for them, once the plane lands, in order to transport them through the airport. In fact it is hard to imagine a disabled person arriving at an International airport only to find there to be no wheelchair to assist them to their next destination.

Fortunately, this possibility was removed from the equation in Malawi, Central Africa with the donation of seven wheelchairs to the Airport Authority from the Malawi project, partnered with Free Wheelchair Mission. The operations manager of the airport proudly shakes hands with the Senior Human Recourses manager as they receive their brand new wheelchairs.

The wheelchairs will be distributed to the three major airports in the area where the most flights in and out of the nation arrive. Now, when somebody needs assistance when they travel into Malawi and the surrounding airports, they will be greeted with mobility and a smile.

God Bless,
Don
