HANDS AROUND THE WORLD (HATW) is a charity which seeks to help vulnerable children around the world, encouraging enthusiastic and well-prepared short-term volunteers to offer practical help, skill-sharing, support and friendship.
'Our hands around the world may get grubby and blistered, they may need to hold a sick child or comfort a grieving parent, they may sometimes be asked simply to hold the hand of another, but there is always more to these hands than practical help alone.'
'GIVING A HAND, NOT A HANDOUT'
NOW LOOKING particularly for short-term volunteers living in the Cardiff area and in Gloucestershire.
Also a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist, preferably with some paediatric experience.
