On 15 April 2010, Bloemfontein BLIA Chapter in the Free State Province organized two wheelchair donations events. Although it rained the events were not affected and no one left due to the rain.
Early that morning the Abbot, Venerable Hui Fang together with Venerable Hui Liao led supervisor Huang Zhong Yong and Chapter President Wu Zi Ying to the Tokoloho Disabled Center, Botshabelo Township for the wheelchair donation. The Center takes care of people with mental and physical disabilities. Wheelchairs were donated to three children suffering from paralysis. Although the children could not speak nor move to express their gratitude, their eyes and the brilliant smile on their faces warmed everyone’s hearts.

The Principal represented the children in expressing their gratitude for the generous assistance of BLIA. The second donation was done at Botshabelo Disabled Center where three destitute children and an elder were given wheelchairs. “We are in a very remote and undeveloped place, but you never abandon us and you bring us such a good gifts. You are really our angels.” said the Principle.
Botshabelo is the second largest township in this area. Previously many Taiwanese built factories and provided many job opportunities. However, as time went on, due to changes in government policy and security problems, many Taiwanese businessmen moved or closed down their factories. Currently the area has a population of six hundred thousand people and suffers from major unemployment, the result of which has brought a lot of social problems to the entire community. Venerable Hui Fang expressed his hope that the local BLIA Chapter can find a suitable place to set up a computer training center. Then they will be able to train the local people in basic computer literacy, enabling them to find jobs and improve their lives.
