| Impact of skills-based volunteer support on NGO and mission |
A lot of ethnic minorities, especially women are suffering from chronic pain problems. Most of them are not aware and do not know how to manage these. Through health education and assessment, participants can be equipped with the knowledge and skills to manage their pain. |
