Dear friends and supporters of Magic Hospital,
we apologize profusely for not having sent you updates, organizing new events has still proven challenging. The more we hope you are pleased to see these images of children brightening the Great Wall of China with their smiles. Most tourists had the pleasure of visiting this stunning Unesco World Heritage site, it was a first for these 10 children...
Their age ranged between 9 and 20 years, most of them 13 and 14. Their home is a village in Hebei Province (around 60 minutes drive from Beijing) , the so called Leukemia Village. They live there with their families to recover from this life threatening disease...
We plan to cooperate more and to do more there, and cooperate with a small organisation, Happy School, which is active in that village. We will send you more information shortly.
But back to the exciting visit. Each child received a little red goodie string bag, we brought fruit and hot water, covered of course the costs for the outing. What these kids go through is heartbreaking, but their laughter was heartwarming. Of course the parents came along too!
This fun day was possible in cooperation with three women from the Outdoor Group Wild Women on the Wall , Happy School, our tireless coordinator Mirjam, the parents, and your donations. Thank you for creating a wonderful memory!
Gratefully yours
Claudia
