New teacher for children thanks to your donation

By Natalia Londono | Project Leader

Tomas, child with burns

Thanks to your donation children with critical illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, cystic fibrosis, etc. must remain in the Hospital and away from their family and friends for extended periods. This creates a negative emotional impact on them, which leads to anxiety, fears, stress and depression. For this reason, the new TEACHER teaches children in the rooms and children with burns that are isolated.

Carrying out playful, recreational and artistic activities guided by a TEACHER encourages children and their families to be happy, creative, joyful, upbeat, relaxed and to have fun during the hospitalization period. Also, the teacher’s support in a formal curriculum plan enables children to keep up with their school learning process.

You next donation will support the new program "Music for Life" aimed at children with cancer. Expect more news about this soon.
