Disabled Therapy

Whilst Dave and I were helping with Home Improvement, the rest of the team, Grace, Sarah, Jane, Carol and Sarah went off to see the work of the disabled therapy programme. This takes several forms, first they went to a purpose built centre for such work and met the team that Hands of Mercy teams with to provide therapy for those in the communities that can travel to the centre. Here is the team:



Here is Dhea and then Sarah helping one of the children to write:





After the visit to the centre, the team travelled to homes in the community to help those who can't travel to the centre. They had to go through very narrow passages to get to the homes:



Once there they watched a Ben Mark, 17, being helped, the his limbs and digits suffered from contractures, where his arms, legs, fingers and toes would look deformed, but with therapy can be straightened out.



The team do a fantastic job helping these people.
