Also CAASAH gives assistance to outpatients’ food supplies and psychological health. Founded in 1999, CAASAH works as an NGO supported by the government and community donations.

I relized that just being there and playing with the kids was appreciated. I played with the kids, holded the babies, changed diapers. We liked to draw, play with chalk, watch tv and do puzzles. We went on field trips on fridays which were a lot of fun and know the kids loved them. The zoo was the best. This experience at Caasah was a positive impact in my life and I suggest future volunteers to be educated about HIV/AIDS, be creative. Caasah is work. Be prepared with the most energy.
