Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Center (IPRC), established in 2010 and currently located at E

disables are free of cost for deserving and needy PWDs, and they are provided at the doorstep in

especially to those who cannot afford to pay for their treatment and rehabilitation. A nominal fee

is charged to the disabled who can afford to pay. The IPRC under the aegis of STRIVE Trust has

been serving PWDs mainly from Islamabad and the surrounding areas, but its doors remain open

to every disable from any part of Pakistan, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK)

on first-come- first-serve basis. Owing to the dearth of financial resources, IPRC has been

operating in rented buildings ever since its inception.

Introduction:

Volunteering is choosing to give some of your time and energy, without payment,

For the benefit of the community and the individual (you). This can be by working

For a not-for-profit organization, such as a charity or other group. Volunteering is a voluntary

act of an individual or group freely giving time and labor for service. Many volunteers are

specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue.

Others serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster.

Much of the joy and value of volunteering comes from its spontaneity.

Volunteering is not just a means of helping individuals or causes; it is a huge boost

To the economy of this country and ultimately benefits society as a whole. It is very

rewarding and volunteers often develop new skills and increase their confidence.

An increasingly popular form of volunteering among young people, particularly gap year

students and graduates, is to travel to communities in the developing world to work on projects

with local organizations. Activities include teaching English, working in orphanages,

conservation, assisting non-governmental organizations and medical work. International

volunteering often aims to give participants valuable skills and knowledge in addition to benefits

to the host community and organization. Volunteering has the ability to improve the quality of

life and health including longevity of those who donate their time and research has found that

older adults will benefit the most from volunteering. Physical and mental ailments plaguing

older adults can be healed through the simple act of helping others; however, one must be

performing the good deed from a selfless nature. There are barriers that can prevent older adults

from participating in volunteer work, such as socio- economic status, opinions held by others,

and even current health issues. However, these barriers can be overcome so that if one would

like to be involved in volunteer work, they can do so.

Volunteering improves not only the communities in which one serves, but also the life of the

individual who is providing help to the community.

Expectation about VIS:

I am here because I would like to have an experience where my skills can help

those who need it. I want to the person who spread happiness and positive vibes

And this will build in us that believe in humanity in more important than earning money.
