Greetings and Happy Friday!April 9, 2004 |
| This story comes from Susan Shaw: "We delivered wheelchairs to a small village on an island called
Vatulele in Fiji. Our truck drove ahead of us and dropped the chairs
off at the correct houses, and we followed behind on foot. We dropped
the first chair to an elderly woman who couldn't walk. Each time we delivered
another chair the procession of village people following us grew. About
15 minutes later, we stopped at a home with another elderly woman, about
the same age as our first lady. As we left her, we turned around and
noticed that the first woman had caught up and that both women were embracing
and kissing each other from their new wheelchairs. Their affection and happiness was overwhelming." |
