2007
Vietnam - The Memnosyne Foundation sponsored a trip made by physical therapist, Miss. Khanzadeh, to the sweat shops in Vietnam where she trained the people how to help each other when injured.
A single injury can mean a whole family may go without food until the injured member of the family is able to recover, and due to the physical strain of working in sweat shop conditions and due to the lack of means among the workers, injuries are quite common and people can often worsen their injuries in their desperate need to earn money and food for their families. Miss Khanzadeh's work was a perfect fit for Memnosyne's Ambassador program as she focused on teaching the sweatshop workers how to perform physical therapy on each other.

Guatemala - The Memnosyne Foundation sponsored a trip made by Chicago University's Basketball Coach to work with Guatemala's wheelchair basketball teams.
In Guatemala the permanantly injured are often bound to a life limited to a small home without the opportunity to even leave the house. However, due to the people's incredible perserverence they have not only aquired wheelchairs, but have also become one of the leading wheelchair basketball teams in South America. They requested for a coach to come teach them not only how to improve their game but to also teach them how to stay motivated and active in the face of so many challenges.
