Hey! I will be volunteering as a physiotherapy student in Tanzania this June as part of UCD Volunteers Overseas charity. I will be volunteering with the Holy Union Sisters who run the Matumaini Centre, a community healthcare centre in a poor district of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The Matumaini Centre is a centre for children with disabilities - offering rehabilitation, education, nutrition and livelihoods support. It is envisioned as a place where mothers and carers can come with their children and be given help, advice, respite and encouragement. I  will be supporting the Matumaini Centre staff along with other physiotherapy volunteers in carrying out assessments of children and developing rehabilitation plans. Additional support and advice for parents on how they can support their child’s development will also be provided, along with input in relation to systems and procedures for running the centre. Any donation at all will be greatly appreciated in supporting this project and all funds raised through this page will be going directly to UCDVO! Thank you, Laura :)                                                                                                                                         For more info on the Tanzania | UCDVO project: https://www.ucdvo.org/wherewework/tanzania/
