<div>Hi my name is Lucy,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a student in the UCD Masters in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics programme, and this year, I am participating in the UCD Volunteers Overseas (UCDVO) Programme.  I will be heading to Kisiizi Hospital in Uganda this June for a four-week voluntary placement to support children with cerebral palsy and their families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alongside a group of volunteers and clinical tutors from the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy, and Sports Science, I’ll be assisting local staff in a Community and Paediatric Rehabilitation Programme, which includes:
</div>
<div>Intensive therapy programmes for children with cerebral palsy
</div>
<div>Group therapy sessions &amp; community outreach
</div>
<div>Education activities and engagement with the hospital’s nutrition programme
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kisiizi Hospital is a not-for-profit healthcare provider that serves its community through essential services, including paediatric care, rehabilitation, outreach clinics, and nutrition support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each volunteer is asked to raise a minimum of €1,550, which goes directly to UCDVO’s overseas partners to fund their development work. Volunteers are also required to pay for their flights and other costs such as visas and vaccinations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are in a position to donate, it would be hugely appreciated and will help make a real impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your kindness and support!
</div>
