My Story

Hello everyone, this July I will be travelling as part of a team of nutrition and physiotherapy students to Kisiizi hospital in Uganda to volunteer in the hospital for four weeks. During this time I will be working on a nutrition project, assessing children for malnutrition as well as running nutritional work shops in the hospital and community. During our time in the hospital we will be running a camp for children with cerebral palsy, we will asses the nutritional status of these children and intervene where necessary and provide the parents are carers with education on how to best manage their childs condition. We will also be helping in the day to day running of the hospital and any refurbishments that are needed. Each volunteer is asked to raise €2,600 to participate in the UCDVO projects. These funds support the volunteer to carry out the above tasks for one month and also cover the costs of project resources such as the rehabilitation camp, physiotherapy equipment, prostheses, educational resources and refurbishment. I appreciate any donation towards this project and have left a link to do so below. Thanks a million, Victoria
