Danish Physiotherapists Volunteer at Raindrop Foundation in Sakon Nakhon




The first week in Thailand, the two young professionals spent in Bangkok getting over the jet-lag and meeting the founder of Raindrop Foundation, former Thai Senator Dr. Pensak Chagsuchinda Howitz, who in the 1970’s lived 14 years in Denmark before she moved to Thailand as the wife of former Danish Ambassdor to Thailand, Franz Howitz.

The first week in Sakon Nakhon they were lucky to overlap with departing physiotherapist Louise Juul Saaby who had spent her time at the Raindrop Center with her friend Anna-Sophie Mikkelsen.

Now, at the end of their term, Mie Jensen and Nanna Madsen look back at three months working with handicapped children at Thai health centers and in private Thai homes in the area around Sakon Nakhon and reflect on what this experience has meant for them.
