Pediatric Massage Volunteer Program with AIDS Orphans in Cambodia
location: rural area near Phnom Penh
summary: Several times a year Buds to Blossoms brings international teams of volunteers to a rural orphanage in Cambodia that is home to over 200 children with HIV and AIDS. There the volunteers work and live as members of the community providing gentle massage and nurturing attention to the children to foster their health, well-being and development.
Massage is of particular value to these children because its proven immune system-strengthening effect may improve their compromised health. The relief massage brings from pain and anxiety may also increase their quality of life.
