The same foundation that runs the Turtle and Conservation Program also engages in other aspects for the well-being of the local community in the area.
One of their projects involves providing rehabilitation and physiotherapy services to residents in the area. Professionals and students in the healthcare field with expertise in these areas can join the local team to improve the physical conditions of patients. One of the challenges the foundation faces, due to limited staff, is the lack of time and professionals available to provide rehabilitation to individuals. Therefore, the role of volunteers is ideal for supplementing the shortage of personnel they experience. Patients will be treated, and volunteers can also teach them exercises for them to continue their rehabilitation independently once the volunteer has left the center.
Additionally, they distribute wheelchairs free of charge to people with reduced mobility throughout Indonesia. For this reason, they have a workshop where they manufacture and repair wheelchairs themselves. If volunteers are willing, they can always lend a hand in the workshop and help repair wheelchairs.
Requirements
- Volunteers must be 16 years or older at the beginning of the program.
- Certificate of Sexual Offenses.
IMPORTANT: It involves approximately 3-4 hours of work per day.
