Following our feature on ANIMN a few days ago, we’re now turning our attention to Orthofaso, the speech-language pathology student association focused on community service projects! Today we’re meeting with Mélanie, the secretary, who’s here to tell 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 under the French Law of 1901, founded in 2006, whose mission is to promote and manage projects abroad through solidarity 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 ravaged by war in the 1950s. The chemicals dumped on the country’s land have led to a very high rate of disability throughout the country, particularly among children. As a result, we work with children who have a wide variety of conditions, most of whom have cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and/or hearing loss.
What activities do you carry out throughout the year? Can you tell us about them?
To raise funds, we organize various events throughout the year:
- Garage Sale and Closet Sale
- Improv Theater Night
- Blind Test
- "Chocolats du Cœur" Sale at Christmas and Easter
- Gift-wrapping stations at Maison du Monde and du 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-language therapy games and equipment to speech-language pathology students
- Set up a Hello Asso fundraising page for online donations of any amount
- Launch of Lilo (a search engine that funds social and environmental projects)
- Sale of eco-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 work toward a good cause. In addition, this experience allows me to be part of a team and see a project through from start to finish.
Orthofaso is a charitable organization whose goal is to provide support at 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 swaps, 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.
Can you tell us a little about the 2020–21 executive committee election?
Elections for the Orthofaso team will take place during the first semester of the 2020–21 school 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.
