Susan Freund is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) who currently blogs about her experience volunteering outside of Nong Khai, Thailand. She is Volunteering through Good Shepherd Volunteers (GSV), working with the Good Shepherd Sisters, and primarily working at Hands of Hope .
The final days are upon us, full of massages given, trips with the outreach team, and thankfully, some quiet, intentional moments to try to prepare for our departure. Thanks for joining us on this journey. I can't believe that this will be my last blog post while physically being in Thailand. I plan to blog as we travel and transition home, but this is the final sign-off from Thailand. How bizarre.
Okay, I'm back to sharing a more balanced post, including lowlights and highlights of my week - like celebrating Chinese New Year here in Nongkhai.
I explore some of my current massage therapy cases, and the journey of being a LMT (licensed massage therapist).
I go a little deeper this week... dare I say more like a John blog post? I talk about death and the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS. I also talk about why our blogs are so important (for us and for you): "so when we drop back into your lives in a year, you will have some idea of what we went through. So please keep reading."
This week I write about how I attempt to assist the workers at Hands of Hope, with quilling. Read on to learn what quilling is (if you don't already know) to get an idea of the hard work done at Hands of Hope, and my usual highlights of the week.
