Thanks to your contribution we can continue bringing hope to young people with cancer under treatment.
The Colombian Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation is still working with its “Young People in Contact” initiative which involves young people in active chemotherapy treatment, as well as young cancer survivors.
In recent months we have had different university volunteers, which have donated their time and talent, taking artistic activities to the hospital, to share them with patients.
This is how patients have had singing and guitar sessions, where they are also motivated to make their own lyrics, because we feel that through music you can also express pain, frustration, joy and all emotions that patients experience when they faced with this disease.
Another fun session led by another of the students, was the elaboration of handmade balls, for use them as juggling. Of course, the patients had a lot of fun trying to coordinate their hands so that their balls did not fall to the floor. Which undoubtedly helped them to forget for a moment the treatment and sadness and to focus on the good times of today.
We are very happy to share these unforgettable moments with young people living the cancer experience. We know they won't forget it either.
