VIETNAM / Lifestart Foundation
Lifestart Foundation operates a Free Disability Community Centre in Hoi An Vietnam. It provides people living with disabilities in central Vietnam with new and improved opportunities. The Centre works directly with adults whose complex disabilities are a result of issues such as polio, war injuries, cerebral palsy and accidents. The Centre offers expert professional one-on-one assessments and depending on the patient’s special requirements they will receive a supervised rehabilitation exercise plan, information on nutrition, posture and details of locally based services. In addition, referral to a local hospital for surgery or prosthetics is provided for those who require specialist medical treatment.

The Free Disability Community Centre officially opened in September 2012. A volunteer physiotherapist from Australia and another from New Zealand have been working there since it opened. They have developed procedures and processes to be used when dealing with the disabled Vietnamese people who attend the centre. They have developed links with other centres dealing with people with disabilities and have commenced some outreach work at a Homeless Shelter for Disabled people in Hoi An and the Danang Red Cross Centre.
A volunteer Occupational Therapist commenced work with us in May and is due to finish in the near future. Both Physiotherapists have finished their time with us also. We are urgently seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified professionals who would like to discuss the position and the volunteer opportunities available.
