The donors were then divided into two teams and had the opportunity to visit our service units including the hydrotherapy, Donkey-facilitated learning, and eye care services. We greatly value their feedback, as it will help us continue to provide high-quality and comprehensive rehabilitation services based on the needs of our clients.
