Very interesting gap year

We shared our English language skills and helped disabled persons help themselves by increasing their independence. On weekends, we do some trips too. And Koh Lipe. Chiang Mai, and Phuket are my ultimate favorites. :) Thank you IGS for a very interesting gap year! Thanks Dr. Adams and thanks to my mentor Miss Jia.

Disable people care in Thailand

My placement is geared towards the care of disabled people in Thailand. Personally I was assigned as an administrative staff for physically disabled people. They cant walk since they are born. The facility is very supportive of them. We taught them how to speak English and created presentations for them. It is so fulfilling.

Proud of these people!

I am so happy that I took this internship!! I gained invaluable experience in disability services, specifically for those with issues in mental health. My patience was tested and my compassion too but it is well worth it. I can see them move on from a depressive episode and I am so proud of them. Making a lasting, positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities is pure bliss.
