In a 4 year project the UNL Rotaract Club has raised over $18,000 to meet its goal of sending 120 high-quality wheelchairs to the African Nation of the Ivory Coast. The chairs are designed and ordered by the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation. They will be built and shipped from China and received by the National Disabilities Association in Abidjan, Ivory Coast where qualified recipients with disabilities including Polio will be selected and notified. Thank you to Konan Blaise Koko for his vision and all the UNL Rotaract members who supported his vision.  Big thanks to generous donors from the public this summer, for an Art auction at Metro Gallery, and for the latest donations from Rotarians. Special thanks to Rotaract Chair Keith Larsen for his excellent service as Rotaract Advisor to UNL Rotaractors.
