Dayana always gives a smile to life

Dayana is a resident of a remote village in the municipality of Cáceres, Antioquia. There, she does not have easy access to education, because there are no school resources to cover that area. After a traffic accident, she entered the Children's Hospital of San Vicente Fundación and in our Hospital Classroom she found a playful and learning place.
Mabel, her mother, says that "in the classroom, she has been taught how to recycle, how to make handicrafts and she has even made many friends". Dayana is known for being a happy and smiling girl.
Thanks to the activities of the Classroom, to the medical team of the Hospital and to the company of her mother, Dayana will be able to continue giving many more smiles to the people around her, and today she has knowledge that she will be able to share with the children of her path.

Luis is a 7-year-old boy who enjoys painting, reading and deciphering labyrinths. He has completed 26 days hospitalized at San Vicente Foundation's Children's Hospital, and his mother is with him almost all the time.
The teachers of the Hospital go to his room when he can not go to the classroom with the other kids. They evaluate how to adapt the cognitive process to his necessities, strengthen the motor skills, and develop learning alternatives.
With the help of his mother, the process has had a significant advance, and the days for Luis at the Hospital have become in something a little more fun and entertaining.

The life skills proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the development of competencies, were the axis to execute 12 pedagogical projects with 6,864 patients in the hospital classroom for children of San Vicente Foundation Hospital.
You and the benefactors who have had confidence in the contribution made by the work done in the Hospital Classroom for Children to help the recovery of hospitalized children, contributed to improve the quality of life of the Children's Hospital patients, because they discovered their abilities, skills and creativity and changed their perspective of the disease by making them feel that they are superheroes of life.
Given the success and importance of this project for sick children and their families, we have expanded the total amount of money for the project so that we can sustain it indefinitely, and each time with better conditions of provision of its service. We are counting on you in 2018, so that together we can make hospitalized children transform their world through learning, games and love from the Hospital Classroom for Children.
