(No Camels-Israeli Innovation News) Miles Rosenblatt - The Israeli NGO "Wheelchairs of Hope" has designed an affordable wheelchair built especially for children.

Kaplan teamed up with Israel's Ziv-Av Engineering and Nekuda Design Management to reinvent the children's wheelchair. "The results at ALYN rehabilitation hospital were fabulous.
