Disabled
issues: |
Disabled or “Differently
Able” people in Nepal face many challenges. Culturally, they are
generally shunned by society, and there are few facilities that have
specialized in caring for these children. These centers deal with a
variety of challenged children who are effected by: Autism, Down’s
syndrome, Birth Defects, Speech Impediments etc.
Nepal has partnered with a few care
facilities in Kathmandu Valley who are specialized in caring for
these children. Volunteers stay with a local family, while spending
6 hours a day at the facility. Volunteers typically assist
caregivers, and provide more education on care methods where
necessary. Volunteers may also have English language sessions for
caregivers, so that they can better reply to interested donors,
medical professionals and other parties. Volunteers also work with
the children to provide assistance with therapy, prepare activities,
teach basic health and sanitation, academic assistance, and general
care. You can also help to plan activities and outings for
sightseeing, picnics, cultural sharing etc. depending on the
children’s abilities.
