Today we want to tell you our experience in the communities of Terrabonna and Sebaco. We have been there twice a week.<\/em><\/strong> In the Corazones Unidos project, we work with children and teenagers who have some disability or have the risk of suffer one, either by their condition or by environmental factors. This is where we support Occupational Therapists.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In the other side, Armonia Mental project includes people with diagnosis of mental health.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n On Thursdays we also accompany them to follow up of the medication of these people. From our place as Occupational Therapists we try to know what roles the patient plays in their home, at school and in the community. Furthermore, which limitations and\/or difficulties they and their families feel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n On Fridays we arrive at El Ocote, another community in the municipality of Sebaco which is further away and its access is more difficult. We arrive in a private vehicle but de majority of people comes by walking. Because of this, it\u2019s very difficult for them to reach the clinic for their rehabilitation, so we go to the family\u2019s house and there we go to other families in communities close to our position. Here, children with different diagnosis are coming. Diagnoses such as infantile cerebral palsy, microcephaly, epilepsy, paralysis of the brachial plexus are some that we found in our trip.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Our interventions, working with Eduardo, are based on sensory-motor aspects, so we started with joint mobilizations to expand the range of movement. We continued with exercises to work on motor skills. We also gave some recommendations to mothers that possible strategies can be carried out to facilitate the autonomy of their sons and daughters.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n For us, this part is very gratifying. More than half of the population in Nicaragua lives in rural area, so being able to reach and give attention to these people is to reach a population that it is limited by their difficult access to the health resources of the closest community.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n With this blog post we want to say goodbye, because due to several factors, the socio-political situation that Nicaragua, among others, is going through has made us to finish our intervention in the project sooner than expected.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We have learnt more than any of us could think when we started and we bring with us a good memory of all the people who have participated with us and have shared their time with us in Ciudad Dar\u00edo.<\/em><\/strong> Nora and Pilar<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you so much for your contribution\u00a0 Nora and Pilar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Hoy os queremos contar nuestra experiencia por las comunidades del municipio de Terrabona.

\nOn Thursdays we go to Terrabona, at Prosalud\u2019s clinic, in which healthcare is given twice a week. We do not there for a long time because, quickly, we have to visit the families that are part of the project of Corazones Unidos and Armon\u00eda Mental.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWe are sure that soon we will return to Nicaragua.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
