Home Care - Battambang - 6.4 Volunteers
6.4 Volunteers
The team has recruited 4 Volunteers, two of whom are themselves HIV+. The Volunteers receive a stipend of $15 per month (compared with $12 in Phnom Penh). As the Volunteers live in the community, they have established close links with the patients and play a major role in providing counselling and support to PLHA, their families and caregivers. As in Phnom Penh, the Volunteers are becoming a major source of referral of patients.
There is apparently no shortage of volunteers willing to work alongside the HCT, but the number that can be recruited is limited by the financial resources available in the NGO grants to support them.
