Our hand of support on walking devices reached to Pretoria University on the 1st of October 2024. A total of 144 devices were donated by Venerable Hui Kai from Fo Guang Shan head quarters on behalf of BLIA. They include 75 standard adult wheelchairs, 32 child wheelchairs and 7 CP wheelchairs. Professor Kai Ying Chan coordinated the process with us (BLIA). Up on receiving the items on behalf of various community groups, Professor Maniraj Sukdaven, Director of faculty of theology and religion, expressed his sincere gratitude for BLIA's generous donation. He added that these devices will make a great difference in the mobility of all recipients hence bringing positive changes to their lives.
On 29 November 2023 BLIA had opportunity to donate wheelchairs, walkers and crutches to Mbhashe Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province. We donated 30 wheelchairs, 15 walkers and 9 crutches. Venerable Hui Liao represented BLIA to handle over these items to the Executive Mayor, Councillor Samkelo Nicholas Janda.
In his address the Mayor expressed his utmost gratitude to BLIA for making it possible to bring these items to his municipality. The municipality has a huge challenge of poverty and unemployment because it is in rural areas and many people depend on government grants, but also there are many people with disabilities and elderly who are in need of these walking devices.
One beneficiary who spoke on behalf of all beneficiaries thanked BLIA for donating such brand new wheelchairs, crutches and walkers. They are living in rural areas, and is miracles for them to be reached and finally receive these items.
On 24 March 2025, Temple Manager represented BLIA to donate a CP wheelchair to Ms Mojabeng Josephine Mokoena who has challenges with walking. This condition made her to be bed ridden and was in doors always. Up on receiving the wheelchair, the applicant, Mr Thabiso Mongwe who is the son, thanked BLIA for the generous donation. The wheelchair will help them taking their mother to clinic visits, attending church, attending family activities which in turn will also improve her mental health.
Another CP wheelchair donation was done at the temple on 11 April 2025 by Ven. Hui Xing on behalf of BLIA. The wheelchair was donated to Skhumbuzo Seopa who is a resident of Sizanani Children's Home. He was born with disabilities and taken to Sizanani. His old wheelchair was posing health risks due to rustiness and malfunction. The applicant, Olga Mbonani, who is the general manager of Sizanani Children's Home, expressed sincere gratitude as this will make a huge difference in Skhumbuzo's life.
