We received a visit from a person very dear to ISOP, who was part of the projects in past years. Sander Bos, Physiotherapist, adventurer and athlete, shares with us in the practice and activities of the ISOP projects these days.

In addition, he organized a campaign on social networks, with his family and friends, to raise money and buy materials for the different ISOP projects. Now we have better tools to work in Hydrotherapy, and in visits to educational centers or to the homes of children in our programs! Thanks for everything Sander!!

Last month we had to say goodbye to two exceptional volunteers, who accompanied us for 2 and a half months. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their motivation, professionalism, constant good humor and for all the moments shared together. Now they are part of the ISOP family, and always welcomed !

Good return home Annerens and Esther !
