The experience

The villagers are in need of physiotherapists and occupational therapists to take care of the old people, especially stroke patients since there is no medical support for such cases available.

If you are physiotherapist and want to donate your time, your support is very welcome. In the past, we could support with physiotherapy and we would love to continue with this very helpful support for the villagers.

General: We are an aid project in the northeastern region of Isan. It aims to develop our region. Our goal is to help farmers and families, especially children, in the villages to build a better future. There is a lack of support in the area of physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, where we visit the patients (mostly stroke patients) in their homes to offer our help. These therapists are guided by our interpreters.
