Poignant picture lecture: Help in Tanzania from Uelzen therapist!
A special event is just around the corner in Uelzen: Dörte Buerschaper, a committed occupational therapist, shares her impressive experiences from Tanzania. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., she invites you to a colorful picture lecture at the Helios Clinic in Uelzen. Admission is free and registration is not required. Buerschaper is not only addressing families and friends, but also anyone interested in finding out more about the challenges and hospitality in one of the poorest countries in the world. Uelzener Presse reports that Buerschaper realized her dream of gaining experience abroad by being released from work for a month. During her stay, she supported a local team of physiotherapists in a hospital in Tanzania.
Tanzania struggles with high poverty rates and various social challenges. Around a third of the population lives on less than one euro a day. Malaria, hunger and high mortality rates are just some of the many problems faced by local people. Nevertheless, Buerschaper experiences the interactions with the locals as extremely positive. “I was touched by the openness and friendliness of the people there,” said the therapist.
Volunteer in Tanzania
Buerschaper was not only active as a therapist for a short time, but also experienced the country and its culture by visiting other facilities that work with the volunteer organization “STEP Africa”. This organization offers volunteers the opportunity to spend a year in Tanzania to improve the living conditions of the local population. Your commitment not only promotes intercultural exchange, but also the personal development of the volunteers.
The volunteers' tasks range from educational and health projects to supporting women's initiatives and animal welfare programs. What they all have in common is the goal of increasing the quality of life of the locals. Volunteers also benefit from valuable experience in the field while strengthening their adaptability and communication skills.
The work of volunteers is indispensable for many projects, as they often provide the necessary support that would otherwise hardly be possible. The insights that Dörte Buerschaper gained during her stay are not only important for her personally, but can also be inspiring for the listeners. Anyone who would like to learn more about Tanzania and the valuable work of volunteers should not miss this impressive lecture.
