Paupa, New Guinea Rehab Donation

treatment-table-and-me-in-van-2FirstLight recently donated a used high-low treatment table and portable massage chair to a clinic in Paupa New Guinea. Kristy and Derek Johnson, from Mora, along with their three sons are currently serving as missionaries in Paupa New Guinea and Kristy is setting up a physical therapy clinic there. FirstLight worked with a freight company that donated shipping costs to send this overseas. The equipment should arrive in PNG in about 3 months and we hope to get pictures after the equipment is set up in the clinic. A special thanks to the Rehabilitation Services Department for donating the equipment and Brett Anderson for assisting with loading of the equipment.
