You know those moments when something resonates within you on a deeper level? No questioning it....it's just right. An instant yes. This is what I felt when being first introduced to the Buds to Blossoms Pediatric Massage Volunteer Program while studying massage/energy therapy last year at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur California. In a moments time... I was called to give myself(mind, body and soul) and offer my service to our world.
So... Here it is folks... As a participant in the Buds to Blossoms Pediatric Massage Volunteer Program.. I will soon travel to Vietnam. While there, I and my fellow volunteers, will provide gentle massage to AIDS orphans, other children affected by HIV/AIDS and orphans with disabilities to foster their health, well-being and development.
Massage is of particular value to these children because of its immune system-strengthening effects, which can improve their compromised health and help meet their needs for the relief of pain and anxiety and help meet their needs for one-on-one attention and touch.
Although the infants and children we will work with receive treatments which both help them recover and slows progression of disease, some of them continue to have AIDS-related medical problems. They live in an orphanage where there are relatively few adult caregivers and volunteer help is crucial in meeting their needs.
The cost of the trip is an obstacle for me. To have the opportunity to be of service to these children, I do need your help. Please support me in providing direct care to children in need by donating to my fundraiser. I truly believe our world can be healed through love, compassion and humanitarian service. This is just one way we can be a proactive force in our world. We are one.
Please share my fundraiser to all you may know. Every little bit helps. Many thanks and love to you!
