The Hands with Heart Foundation is based on an international volunteering program established in 2016. It gathers students, junior, and senior professional therapists from all over the world to provide healthcare services and treatments, primarily but not exclusively through manual therapies, to children and young adults in need. Hands with Heart also shares different approaches and therapeutic modalities with local healthcare therapists, encouraging continuous professional development by delivering workshops and internships.
In the past years Osteon teachers Jorge, Inge and Jory were tutoring several volunteers during multiple missions in various continents.
The mission helped many of the volunteers and tutors to become what they now are.
Volunteers and tutors became colleagues and friends for life.
The time has come for a reunion!
