Volunteer nurses urgently required to help in a social care home for disabled children and young adults in Bulgaria. This is a demanding yet rewarding placement for those who want to care for abandoned and neglected children. Volunteers will spend their time helping the staff to look after the children i.e. feeding and dressing, as well as interacting with them, playing games and providing one on one attention and care. All the children at the home are physically disabled and many of them are bed-ridden and have very complex needs. Nurses experienced in palliative care or working with disabled children and young adults are sought for a minimum of one month from October as part of a volunteer team of 6. Accomodation and travel will be arranged by TBACT.
In the past year Rosa Monckton has been working with The Bulgarian Abandoned Children's Trust in order to raise awareness and demand improvement to the appalling conditions that exist in the institutions for disabled children in Bulgaria. I visited this home recently and saw the stagnant conditions that these children endure. Rosa believes that a small group of nursing professionals could make a world of difference to the day to day lives of these children.
This is a real opportunity to help some of Europe's most neglected children.
