On Friday, 7 October 2016, ten wheelchairs were donated to the Cheshire Foundation in Mogoditshane.  The wheelchairs were part of a shipment of wheelchairs supplied the Wheelchair Foundation UK to the Rotary Club of Selebi-Phikwe. An agreement was made by the Rotary Club of Gaborone with Selebi-Phikwe that we would take some their consignment and that we would supply them with wheelchairs from our next consignment of wheelchairs.
The presentation of the wheelchairs was attended by Past District Governor Milton Frary and his wife Elaine from the Rotary Club of Wetherby and District, Yorkshire. Milton is one of the directors and founders of the Wheelchair Foundation UK. They were accompanied by Gwynfor Roberts and his wife Diane from the Rotary Club of Ruthin, North Wales.
The Rotary Club of Gaborone were represented by Immediate Past President Bill McLellan, Past Presidents Georgina Durrant and Rose Selema, plus Rotarians Graham Burt, Roger Damp, Roy Davies, Alex Georgiades and Casmir Jongman. Assistant Governor John McCrory was present as a representative of District 9400 in addition to the Rotary Club of Gaborone.
The wheelchairs were presented to the Director of the Cheshire Foundation, Mr B S Masebola by Gwynfor Roberts. He surprised Mr Masebola by addressing him in Welsh before reverting to English.
There were two boys and a girl waiting for wheelchairs and so they were seated in their new red “Ferraris”.
