Rotary Wheels On-the-Go

This is a joint project of RC LB Makiling and RC Bauan, as part of their sisterhood agreement.

SunPower Philippines Manufacturing Ltd., under their SunPower Wheelchair Project, will donate a total of 100 make-shift wheelchairs to RC LB Makiling, to be assembled on September 24, 2016 at Los Baños Central Elementary School (LBCES). Since the distribution is exclusive to Laguna and Batangas communities only, RC LB Makiling tapped its sister club RC Bauan to help distribute the wheelchairs. Each club will have 50 wheelchairs to distribute to beneficiaries in their own communities who qualify the conditions stated below. Distribution of the wheelchairs will be from September 24 to November 24, 2016.

Volunteers for the assembling of the wheelchairs include SunPower, RC LB Makiling, RAC Makiling, STP-UPLB, and a few teachers of LBCES.


RC LB Makiling is seeking financial assistance to cover the expenses on storage, transportation, and distribution of the said wheelchairs. Any contribution will aid in the delivery of items to the beneficiaries.

For donations, please proceed through this link -- bit.ly/2ch3DxD.

Your help will go a long way.
