Our Work
Kalesi Navatoga After suffering a stroke a little over 2 years ago, Kalesi Navatoga (here with grand-daughter) of Votua Village remains largely paralysed on the left side of her body and unable to look after her family and play with her grandchildren, dress herself properly, or cook food. She can transfer from her wheelchair to another piece of furniture however would really like to improve her balance, strength, and movement to play with her grandchildren more. These skills can be provided by CCR and their physiotherapy and occupational therapy service. |
