Their informal education includes personalized learning goals, life skills, and post-school activities. The mobile clinic offers treatment help to patients who live distant from the center, including assessments, family education, therapy, and home visits. BaliRungu focuses on children and teenagers and collaborates with volunteer doctors through the BBT “Baksos Bersih Telinga” program.
