A manual handling adviser in Malawi
A long ambition was realised in February 2023 to volunteer with a charity that supports children and adults abroad. Being part of a team dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of fellow human beings is both an honour and delight. Two weeks can change your life forever and be the start of a long term inspirational collaboration in a far off continent.
Learning Outcomes
- Gain an insight into therapy and handling amongst some of the poorest communities in Malawi
- Understand the importance of developing flexibility and innovation in our work
- Have the opportunity to be inspired by other people living a very different life to those in the UK
