Workshop for parents – August 13th, 2022.
While parents participated in the workshop, the 12 children in our physical therapy program played games with Mano a Mano volunteers and physical therapy students, which complement the more direct rehabilitation and physical therapy sessions. This workshop was hosted in Mano a Mano Internacional’s office building in El Abra, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
