Donations of Hearing Aids and Used Limbs
We happily accept used hearing aids -
especially the behind the ear type. These
are refitted by audiologists and sold to
help raise funds for our rehabilitation centres.
We also love to
get used prosthetic limbs. They can be
re-fitted to disabled people and change
their lives.
|
|
|
Please contact MEND at mend@xtra.co.nz
if you have used hearing aids or limbs, or
could help us collect them in your area.

MEND has
several opportunities for volunteers.
We need volunteers to
call around their local community
seeking used hearing aids and
prosthetic limbs, walkers, and callipers.
We need volunteers to
print out the latest edition of the
MEND newsletter on their own computer,
and other volunteers to mail out these
newsletters with handwritten notes of
thanks to our donors.
We need volunteers to
research grants and awards that MEND
can apply for. |
 |
|
We need volunteers to
offer to show the MEND DVD to
community service organisations, or
even at the local library.
We need volunteers to
show the MEND DVD to local schools
We need volunteers who
are travelling to India, Kashmir, or
Nepal to bring some used hearing aids
or prosthetic limbs with them. These
can be dropped off and then shipped
locally or picked up, saving expensive
transport costs.
We need volunteers travelling
to India, Kashmir, or Nepal
to bring back items we have been given
or purchased so we can raffle them off
in New Zealand to raise funds.
We need volunteers to
come to MEND projects around the
world to see for yourselves the
work being done, and help where you
can. |
