Therapies in Bosnia

Are you a therapist. If so, could you help bring therapies to Bosnia?

Phoenix-Aid needs your help. It is a charity taking therapies to Bosnia. Right now it needs your help. The charity is run by two women Sarah and Karen, who devote an enormous amount of unpaid time and energy to it.

Phoenix-Aid works in Bosnia in two ways:
to bring therapies to people in desperate need and
to train local people so that they will be able to provide treatments themselves
Karen is next going in March and will need:
Essential oils
2 self-funding therapists to go out on 17th March for two weeks
2 self-funding therapists to go out from 31st March to 7th April
Donations of money ( you can send cheques, or you can use the CAF web site if you want to use a credit card)

If you feel you can help in any way, or would like to get involved in the UK, please let either of them know. Sarah can be contacted by phone on 01924 830025 and Karen by email. And you can find out more by checking out their web site http://www.phoenix-aid.org/.

Being a therapist in this way will be an amazing privilege and opportunity - I did something similar in Russia about 14 years ago - you are highly likely to come away with far more than you give. If you can't commit yourself to March, email Karen for the dates for later in the year.

I hope you'll feel able to do something.
