   Vijay Viswanathan was injured in a rock-climbing accident in 2003, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. When Viswanathan obtained his property, it had a lot of construction and agriculture debris, which was nearly impossible for him to gather and dispose. Viswanathan reached out to AgrAbility, asking for assistance on his, soon-to-be farm. After accepting to help Viswanathan, AgrAbility requested Rho Chapter to assist with the project, and the chapter jumped at the opportunity. The brothers spent an entire day working on cleaning and repairing Viswanathan’s property.

  Viswanathan said he was thankful and grateful for the assistance from the Fraternity and AgrAbility.
