It was all smiles from quadriplegia Petrus Haakskeen, when we presented him with a special pressure cushion for his wheelchair.

This cushion was specially ordered for him from the USA at a cost of N$ 4,500.00 to aid the healing process of his severe bedsores on his buttocks. These he incurred from spending many hours in his wheelchair where he writes poetry, short stories, playwrights and even music on his computer with the aid of splints and sticks.

Many of his works have already been published, which is a great source of inspiration for him, filling him with a sense of achievement and a “fighting spirit” for life and survival.
