Allied health students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) accompanied by two academic staff leave this weekend to spend up to six weeks working with children in a Vietnamese orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.The students will gain important practical experience working with the children, many of whom have severe disabilities. Organised by the University’s School of Community Health, this is the fourth visit by the health students and staff to the Phu My orphanage which provides schooling and health care for around 350 orphans. The 11 students who are studying physiotherapy, speech pathology and occupational therapy,have raised $2 700 from student clubs and fundraising to purchase resources and equipment for the orphanage and pay for Vietnamese interpreters.
