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.
Be
