Four wheel chairs

The International Federation of the Red Cross invited Motivation to produce
wheelchairs to complement their spinal injuries project in the Marinescu Hospital,
Bucharest. The workshop was set up in the basement of the hospital and a design
very close to the Polish chair was introduced, as the circumstances and environment
in Romania were similar to that of Poland.
The local team went on to form Motivation Romania, to improve the quality
of life of wheelchair users throughout Eastern Europe. They have successfully
taken our work forward and introducing further services such as driving tuition,
computer training, a community centre and a contemporary dance programme for
wheelchair users.
In 1996 a Motivation team returned to help run an active rehabilitation course
teaching mobility skills and health education. Motivation Romania have again
taken this forward and have since run active rehabilitation camps in Moldova,
Albania, Bulgaria and Estonia.
