Following our feature on ANIMN a few days ago, we turn our attention to Orthofaso, the speech-language pathology student association dedicated to community service projects! Today we’re speaking with Mélanie, the secretary, who tells us more about the association’s mission, goals, and humanitarian efforts!
Could you tell us a little about your organization? What is its mission?
Orthofaso is a nonprofit organization established in 2006 under the French Law of 1901, dedicated to promoting and managing international projects through volunteer missions led by speech-language pathology students from Montpellier. Since 2015, the association has been working at an orphanage for children with multiple disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (previous missions were in Burkina Faso). This year’s Orthofaso team consists of 17 speech-language pathology students.
We are traveling to Vietnam because the country was devastated during the war in the 1950s. The chemicals dumped on the country’s land have led to a very high rate of disability within the country, particularly among children. As a result, we work with children suffering from a wide variety of conditions, most of whom have cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and/or hearing loss.
What activities do you organize throughout the year? Could you tell us about them?
To raise funds, we organize various events throughout the year:
- Yard sale and garage sale
- Improvisational Theater Night
- Blind test
- Sale of "Chocolats du Cœur" at Christmas and Easter
- Gift wrap stands at Maison du Monde and Le Bruit dans la Cuisine from November through Christmas
- Raffle
- Sale of bee wraps made by the team
- Participation in the Castelnau-le-Lez Christmas market (sale of jars of cookie and muffin mixes, bee wraps, jams, crafts, Christmas cards, etc.)
- Sale of used speech therapy games and materials to speech therapy students
- Set up a Hello Asso fundraising page for online donations
- Launch of Lilo (a search engine that funds social and environmental projects)
- Sale of reusable cups and tote bags by the organization
Why did you join the organization as an individual member? What does your organization offer students?
Personally, I joined this organization to help others and contribute to a good cause. Plus, this experience allows me to be part of a team and see a project through from start to finish.
Orthofaso is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting an orphanage for children with multiple disabilities. It allows students who support us throughout the year to participate in various types of events that may interest and entertain them (trivia contests, raffles, clothing sales, improvisational theater nights, sales of used items, etc.) while helping us with our project.
Why and how can I join your organization?
There is no membership in our association.
Could you tell us a little about the 2020–21 executive board election?
Elections for the Orthofaso team will take place during the first semester of the 2020–21 academic year, but we cannot provide an exact date given the current health situation. Fourth-year speech-language pathology students who volunteer will then be able to join the association.
