By Magda The | President of the Board

Outdoorsy day 10/19, some martial arts...

Hello dear fellow friend of Magic Hospital,

I hope all is good with you? I wanted to share some important news with you: we have added another amazing Board Member.

Shakira Miracle is a human-centered systems designer and strategic thinker with almost 20 years’ experience serving the philanthropic, government, faith, and business sectors in North America and Asia.

As a former volunteer and staff of Magic Hospital China, she understands its complexity of national and international coordination with placed based program design. Along with a strong belief in social impact and systems innovation, she has a passion for supporting holistic, effective, and inclusive means of trauma healing in children, both physical and emotional.

We are excited that we can welcome her to be part of the trustees of Magic Hospital.

Do you still have another minute? Here some more quick updates:

- Clown program: Mr. Liu clowns tirelessly for the hospitalised children in China. Our dear clown Jean, who left China recently, continues his role as Magic Hospital Smile Ambassador during his adventure on his Latin America travel, recently in Mexico, Chile and Peru.

- Playtime program: volunteers will now go Friday and Saturday to play with hospitalised children

- Outdoorsy Program: Our october Outdoorsy day- warm up exercises and happy running activity with 20 children from Gucheng school at the Olympic Park. The kind Manager from the Adidas club in the Olympic Park in Beijing liked the activity and the children so much, that he spontaneously sent the surprise gifts to the school. Upcoming Outdoorsy day - a visit to the Aquarium

- We need your help! we have added two new microprojects on Global Giving: for the Magic Beans project, and one for the Abracadabra , Make a wish program. Please do support us, ideally on Giving Tuesday, when your donation has the chance of being matched!

Thank you very much for caring, for your time and attention, and stay well.

Yours truly

Something different - MH's new Exceleratorproject

By Magda The | President Magic Hospital

Dear Magic Hospital supporter,

I am happy to reconnect with you, as I would like to share some exciting news.

But first a question: do you remember the last time you stood in front of a problem, or ran out of time for a deadline, or maybe you had to move house, and help was magically just around the corner? Wasn't this a relief? There are moments when we need help, to progress in our endevours, to overcome obstacles.

You know us mostly via our programs in China. You may be less aware of the fact that we developed and managed a 3-year project called "Kids Open - getting out of the rough” in France. It was a Golf project for autistic children. Since we handed it over to the autistic school, we have been pondering what we should do next in Europe.

However, we also knew from that there are many small nonprofits who are struggling and need help. So, we thought: instead of launching our own program, why not choose to help others? In the end, helping others is why we are active in the nonprofit world. Wouldn’t you agree that makes good sense?

This is the mission of our new initiative, the Exceleratorproject. We see a great need and opportunity in lending a helping hand to other organisations. The project is still in its early stages, but we already have an appealing website with a cool 1-minute video clip. Please do take a minute and visit it.

We continue of course our multiple programs in China, one of them being the Clown Program which you so generously and kindly support. We believe it is important to let you know what else we are doing, so I wanted to send you this brief update. If you have any questions or suggestions, I am delighted to hear from you. You can reach me on president@magichospital.org

Thank you for your time, your interest and steadfast loyalty in Magic Hospital!

Kindest regards

Magda The

Launch of Magic Moments Program

By Mirjam Thieme | Director Magic Hospital China

Magic Bean day at Huaxin Hospital

Dear Magic Hospital community,

Today was a special day for the children, for you, for us, and we want to share it with you.

Today we launched our 'Magic Moments’ program at Huaxin Hospital. You may recall from having spoken about the Huaxin hospital: children are hospitalised here when they are in need of a heart surgery. Normally, volunteers from our Playtime program go and play with the children saturday mornings. It's also a good moment to bring some relief to the worried and anxious parents.

We also went today on this special occasion. We brought little magical flower pots and worked with the children to plant their ‘Magic Bean’. Older kids helped the younger ones to plant, and those kids who could not join in because they had to remain in bed. They were all so lovely.

We hope that while they care for their bean and see it sprout it brings them joy and hope. And takes their mind off the hospital routine and their fears.

Years back, we did the Magic Beans project with a Parent group in Guangzhou whose children suffered from cancer. It was such a sweet and simple activity, it lit up children's eyes. A gift from the British Chamber in Beijing made today possible.

We will expand the Magic Moment program to other hospitals as well. True, Magic Moment is a bit of a melting pot of activities: the Magic Beans, the Abracadabra wish program and the Holiday Gift Giving - however all have in common to bring special moments to children who need them dearly.

We hope you like what you read. Please continue to share your passion and goodwill for children through us. On this happy note, Claudia and I wish you a wonderful weekend. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Be a doctor and send a smile.

Your sincerly

Mirjam Thieme
