A Dream Room is a haven for our dreamers, a place to escape from their reality and experience happiness. It is a room built in the pediatric ward of a hospital, to help our dreamers in their healing process. It provides the dreamers with a place to learn life skills, that they may not be able to achieve while in their hospital beds.
The dream room provides a gentle distraction from medical procedures and the hospital environment, it helps reduce stress and anxiety experienced by the dreamers during their stay at the hospital. It enhances their recovery process, physical, mental and social awareness. It is a place for children to interact with one another for them to build a friendships with each other. There are educational games such as art and crafts, boards games like scrabble, and spelling test. There are also imaginary games to help stimulate the children's minds. We have interns and volunteers that are there to engage with the children and give them any type of assistance needed.
We are able to fulfil dreams in he dream room for children that are hospital based that can not leave the hospital. We are also able to interact with our dreamers in the room. The foundation can host small events in the room time to time to entertain the dreamers and put a smile on their faces for that day.
The foundation aims to build 45 dream rooms across the province by the end of the year. We have 40 dream rooms in place already that are fully functional. The dream room play a huge role in our dreamers life's. The foundation will continue inspiration and manifesting hope through dream rooms.
