ELDERLY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES AT
NONSOMBOON LEPROSARIUM


CBR for HIV and AIDS
Patients and Families

At a government owned Leprosarium in elderly
Nonsomboon, there are 150 elderly Hansenites who have physical deformities who had  participated in the activities for the elderly organized by the Daughters of Charity.   Their main objective is to keep the elderly healthy and strong and to have a support group to overcome loneliness. 

Activities:

  • Twice a week the group came to the hall for physical exercises and sharing of their life experiences.  Chocolate Milk and cookies are served after the exercise. 
  • Home visitation
  • Supplementary food
  • Moral support/counseling
  • Referrals to Sirinthon Hospital for ulcer dressings and other medical needs

Quality presence is the most important gift that the Sisters can give to the elderly at the Nonsomboon Leprosarium.

“when we are lonely…. You visited us!”
“when we are sad…. Your presence is a joy!”
