Irish girls say goodbye

Yesterday the children at Childlife said goodbye to Aiofe and Becky from Ireland who volunteered with us for 4 weeks through i-to-i.

During their time they taught at Sankhong school and spent some great time with the children at the shelter. They taught some of the children some Irish dancing and did a heap of creative and arty activities.
In addition Aiofe, a physio student, together with Becky worked closely with Leelong on his rehab. During their time they helped Leelong from being unable to sit up unassisted to standing without assistance and the aid of a table. They surprised Leelong in their last week with great present for his rehab, a walker. Leelongs eyes lit up when he saw this and wanted to try it straight away.

They also did a presentation on Leelong’s case including a program of activities to undertake after they leave.

A big thanks for everyone at Childlife for your time with us, well miss you both a lot!
