Leelong out and about

A few months ago the BNN Post featured the story of our 2 medical emergency cases including Leelong who arrived at Childlife unable to walk after being bed ridden for 1 month in his village.

We are now happy to let you know that Leelong is now walking around freely after regaining a lot of the weight he had lost as well as undergoing physical rehabilitation at Childlife. We were lucky to have Aoife, a physiotherapy student volunteer who provided a good programme of exercises for Leelong to follow. Also fellow volunteer Leni organised for her sister to bring some Therabands to improve his movement rehabilitation.

Leelong has also returned to visit his foster family in village Baan Nam Kuen which put a big smile on his face. He is also back to playing his favourite game Takraw with 5 takraw balls in his room!

We thank our friends who donated money towards Leelong's recovery.
