New Year’s Gift for chronically ill children

Being children, they love to play, they want to run freely and enjoy the sun. How sad would it be for them to spend one of the most festive seasons of the year in a hospital? Many of chronically ill children are prone to the Emotional Deprivation Syndrome due to long-term stay at the hospital without seeing their friends or family that often. Many of them later develop aggressiveness or phobia of medical procedures and staffs when they finally return home.

This project aims to bring joy to the hospitals by organizing recreational activities, lucky draw games and many more. 

Your support will be spent on purchase of 1,460  items as gifts for the patients such as stuffed dolls, skill development toys and other necessary consumer goods.

Activities

Recreational activities and interactive games such as singing, playing musical instruments, balloon twisting show, quiz and many more.
