Abstract

The flying wheelchair project was started in the Tochigi Technical Senior High School in 1990 and has since spread to other technical senior high schools. The aim of the project is to provide upgraded wheelchairs to Asian countries, for use by students. This paper describes the overview of International Voluntary Activity by Japan and Korea since 1990 and the future activities' prospect on this matter.
