Since our last report our Community Based Rehabilitation team has been focused on preparing and caring for our clients who received surgeries in January through a partner and moving towards more community involvement and support in this project.
22 of our clients were able to get surgeries this month and we are now walking with each of them and their families to make sure they recover well and stay on the path towards full rehabilitation. They were incredibly thankful for the procedures offered as well as the loving care they were given during the whole process.
We are also working to implement a family and peer group curriculum that will give our clients and their families the tools and empowerment they need for ongoing care and for supporting others in their community. Our hope is that this will build stronger relationships and increase the capacity of our clients to also serve others where they live who have needs. When we first brought this phase of the project up with our clients, they didn't seem very excited about it. However, as our team visited each family, many more than expected expressed their desire to be involved, some stating that it is because of the trust they have in us that has been built over a long period of sincere, consistent care for them.
