Our organization, PPSO-E has been working in collaboration with GlobalGiving (GG), USA in the fight against Parkinson’s disease since 2016. GlobalGiving Foundation, INC. has transferred the second batch amounting to ETB 7,478.58 (313.25USD) on 28th August 2017. Out of this 200USD was for walking cane purchase & delivery to Poor PD patients. We have purchased 19 Walking canes from local market in A.A, Ethiopia and we started the delivery today.
I lack words to mention the joy on the face of PD patients when they were delivered with locally made walking cane. PD patients suffer from walking difficulty as they cannnot keep balance while walking. This is one of the motor symptom of PD patients. As time passes by these PD patients cannot walk without walking aide and this is our firts experience to get external suport and deliver canes.
We greatly appreciate GG Foundation & the donor for this support.
