HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS
Monasawee screams in pain as her diapers are changed at Wat Prabat Nampu. She has an infection in her mouth, which makes it hard for her to eat or drink any food. Like many of the patients at the hospice, it is extremely painful to move her legs, and she has little to no control of her bodily functions. Although the situation is grim for many of the patients, the volunteers and workers concentrate on getting the patients healthy and hopefully, someday back into society.
