Child Therapy
Volunteer Opportunities
Starfish needs the support of child care professionals. This Venture is based in Surin and the local
hospital has over 400 children registered at their Child Development Clinic. Children are have
physically and mentally handicapped, physical disabilities, Down syndrome, Pervasive Deficit
Disorder (PDD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
The hospital runs two weekly clinics for these children. Approximately 20-30 children attend
the clinics. The hospital is lacking resources, manpower and the latest knowledge/practices on how
to help these children. On average the children come from poor farming families and are cared for
at home. The hospital staff are keen to start an outreach program which it is hoped our volunteers
will assist launch.
This is a new Venture for Starfish and the hospital needs the support of child care professionals yesterday. Why not make
this Venture part of your annual holiday? We can help organise both. Or why not take time out, help this very worth while
cause and at the same time discover the beauty of Thailand and its people.
