From July 20 to July 22, the ChSPU “Mechta” Health Center hosted the first therapeutic camp in Chuvashia for children with incurable diseases and their parents.
The main goal of the camp, organized by the Ann Chizhova Foundation, is to improve the interaction skills of sick children who usually communicate only with their family members.
During these three days, 130 parents and 95 children became one large family, whose members are not divided into adults and children, able to speak and not, those who run and move in a wheelchair.
The idea to organize the camp was put into life due to the help and support of a large number of volunteers – animators, volunteers, those who offered their cars and driving services, prepared didactic materials, collected first-aid kits, firewood, coal, foodstuffs, pushed wheelchairs, carried padded stools, mattresses, water, etc.
Among them there were students of the Faculty of Preschool and Correctional Pedagogy and Psychology and the Faculty of Art and Musical Education of the I. Yakovlev Chuvash State Pedagogical University.
The Ann Chizhova Foundation will gladly accept any kind of help from those who care. Anyone can help the Foundation regardless of their financial situation. To view the web-page of the charity group that helps children with incurable diseases in Chuvashia, please click the link.
