In collaboration with B1G1, each ticket purchased for this 2-day event will fund 2 days of mental health treatment for an Orphaned Child in Thailand
Here’s how your contribution could help:
“Many of the children in our care suffer from mental health issues from wide ranging sources. Some children have been severely neglected, malnutrition and traumatised, resulting in the delayed in their mental development and associated mental trauma which needs ongoing support. Others have lost their parents and have born significant trauma and loss from that experience.
At Hands we are committed to providing all the support we need to enable these children to cope with, grow and overcome their experiences. With your help, we provide mental health support via counselling with psychologists.”
