PROJECTS
1
The Philippines
Our first clinics were held in the Philippines in 2008. We support both wheelchair racing and wheelchair basketball. From modest beginnings, we are pleased to recognize some athletes as potential paralympians.

Laos
We have provided a total of eight sport wheelchairs and hosted two wheelchair basketball clinics in Vientiane. Subsequently the evolution has been significant, expanding to four teams and international competition. Future plans include greater opportunities for women in the Laos wheelchair basketball program.

Bali, Indonesia
Our collaboration with Bali Sport Foundation has been very succesful. We provide equipment and coaching in wheelchair racing, handcycling and wheelchair rugby.
5
Thailand
A plan is in the works to host an international wheelchair basketball clinic and tournament to include regional participants. Expect this to lead to regular interaction between the basketball programs in these countries.
3
Cambodia
Our initial efforts in 2009-2010 were directed to wheelchair racing. A program was established to produce elite athletes. Since then the main para sport focus has been wheelchair basketball. We hope to include Cambodian athletes in the International Thai Basketball clinic/tournament.
