What Is Happening Now? PDF Print E-mail

Change is in motion, and it’s happening now. Fellow volunteers and I take our humanitarian efforts into the Vesnova Children’s Asylum. There, we are changing the way these children are viewed; hence, changing the way they are cared for. We work by practical modeling and one-on-one training to facilitate a bond between the care workers and the children – all of us in our respective fields: occupational & physical therapy, nursing, and my field, baby massage – which is clinically recognized as healthy attachment and bonding through nurturing and compassionate touch. We assess the needs, design a practical approach and implement a training program. Fortunately, the care workers are open and receptive. Without their cooperation, interest and commitment, our milestones would be harder to reach. Thanks to contribution dollars, we are able to deliver, not only our services, but also goods to carry out and enhance our work. Sensory tools are used to assess, stimulate, balance and broaden tactile, visual and audio sensitivities. Medical supplies are used to facilitate a higher quality of clinical care. All together, we are raising the standard of care to reduce pain, discomfort and uncertainties for the most ill of children at the asylum. It’s happening now.
