Our upcoming event, Visionaries, highlights how doing small acts in your own community can have huge impacts on communities around the world. We would like to share with one of the inspirational stories from our last club about an amazing FREE WHEELCHAIR MISSION.
"Don Schoendorfer, a biomechanical engineer, founded Free Wheelchair Mission after witnessing the plight of a woman with disabilities dragging herself across a road in Morocco. Haunted by her image, Schoendorfer used his MIT training to develop a low-cost, durable, functional wheelchair that would become the cornerstone of Free Wheelchair Mission, which he started in 2001 to serve people with disabilities in developing countries. Worldwide, an estimated 100 million people are in dire need of a wheelchair but lack the resources to obtain one. Many are forced to live on the ground or must wait to be carried to meet their most basic needs. Free Wheelchair Mission’s goal is to deliver 100,000 wheelchairs annually to the poorest of the poor – in some of the most remote regions of the world. This episode of the Visionaries follows Schoendorfer to Ayacucho, Peru, where he will make one of the most significant deliveries of his life - Free Wheelchair Mission’s millionth wheelchair. This story is a celebration of the lives that have been changed – the children who can now attend school and the parents who can support their families – because of Schoendorfer’s wheelchairs, which are often the first step toward dignity in a more inclusive world." - Visionaries website

Each week in our 45-minute video club meetings on Zoom we will discuss short, inspiring videos focused on a critical challenge with positive solutions. Then we will share ways we can actively be of service to enrich our own local communities. Your guide, Kathy Taylor, will moderate the weekly meetings in order to facilitate a respectful and productive discussion for everyone in the community.
We meet every Thursday at 4:00pmPST/7:00pmEST - beginning on August 7th. Join this FREE video club exploring documentaries which seek to inspire us all and serve as a catalyst to action and social/global change. ALL members of our 6D Living community are welcome to join us!
