I volunteered for Warm Heart in Thailand for 2 months. I split my time between community work and work at a children’s home.
I made home visits to provide psychological and physical support to vulnerable adults. I also reviewed and re-structured the Warm Heart programme to achieve consistent visits, set clear patient goals and efficiently deliver resources. I project managed a Psychological Interventions Project where I worked with 39 children living at a children’s home to assess and document their mental health, and to recommend and action appropriate interventions.
Warm Heart is a beautiful place with beautiful people. If you have the drive and a self-start approach to work then you have the opportunity to make a difference and learn a lot. I am forever grateful for the amazing experience I had here.
