SUMMER FELLOW PROJECT CONTINUATION
This project was continued as a fellowship by Tish Scolnik and Wenxian Hong at Mobility Care and the KCMC Wheelchair Workshop in Tanzania. The students worked with technicians at the workshops to transform their bench-level test devices into full folding wheelchair prototypes. At the time this information was posted (Sept. 2007), Mobility Care and the KCMC Wheelchair Workshop were in the middle of long-term user testing. Initial response from users has been very positive and both shops plan to put the folding chair into production when they complete testing.
