Continued rehabilitation is an integral part of the total rehabilitation programme.
Many times continued rehabilitation is curtailed due to lack of adequate facilities, lack of funds and lack of understanding by patients and society. While on Batam, participants will do a community project for handicapped children in Batam. The concept of this expedition is to have handicapped and able-bodied participants paddle together to Batam where they will do some community service work for the charity hospital of the Red Cross Society in Batam and then paddle onwards to Bintan and back to Singapore. This expedition will not only demonstrate the physical abilities of the handicapped participants, but will also show how they together with the able-bodied can join together to show our care and support for the less fortunate people in our region by doing a community project in Batam. DPA members are cordially invited to join in this expedition.
