Teaching and Education to break the cycle of isolation and poverty

In many countries, children with disabilities are inadequately cared for due to limited resources and a lack of education about their conditions and proper care. In many communities, a child with a disability is often seen as having “bad Karma” and it is a stigma for their families, therefore these families are ostracised as a result. We aim to give these children an opportunity to learn, develop and thrive through health programs designed to improve their wellbeing.

Parents, carers, and school teachers, and even the children themselves are taught the basic skills of natural therapies, to continue performing the techniques on the children in their community in their own time. OCCF offers education and programs by:

• Promoting community programs for healthy eating and healthy active lifestyle choices to parents and families of children.
• Providing natural health training to therapists, parents, carers and schoolteachers of sick and disabled children. This will include training in massage techniques and other healing modalities that will support the health and well being of the children.
• Establishing centres for people to seek basic medical and first aid in remote communities throughout Australia and in overseas countries.
• Teaching basic and advanced first aid in remote communities throughout Australia and in overseas countries.
