There are two full time carers "mothers" as we call them. Who provide care for around 13 disabled children at the Social Suporrt Centre. So you can imagine they are in serious of help. Volunteers from GVN are at the centre every weekday, we are rotatated on shifts amoung the 4 different placements here in Danag.There is also a nursery at Social, the mothers in this wing curently look after 4 orphan babies, and 5 disabled children. Here we help out with feeding, stretching and baby massage. GVN has a full time physiotherapist Mr Phuc who accompanies us. He's great!
A couple of the babies here, were abandoned at birth. At first they were placed at a centre for malnourished children, which has since closed down. GVN arranged for them to be moved here to social, and I'm glad to report that they are certainly not malnourished now! Bin Mihn and Phuc Duc are lovely chubby wee babies.
Rebekah and I lead an exercise class for the elderly yesterday, which most of them loved, while the others were just there for the fruit and soy milk they recived afterwards..
its kind of a bribe? to get them socailizing with each other and out and about in the fresh air.
Its been action packed! there are 3 other placments
to tell you about yet ...
