Teacher Paula and Children with burns at christmas

Thanks to your donation children with burns have a teacher to develop recreational, educational and artistic activities. Children with burns can not leave the hospital unit for the high risk of contracting infections. The new classroom teacher moves to the Unit to bring joy and love to children and their families.

At Christmas, caring people like you donated gifts and games for children with burns will enjoy the guidance of the teacher.

The Hospital is First pediatric burn unit in Antioquia, each year we serve an average of 400 children burned most hot liquids
