Something is always cooking at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Last December eight pediatric patients worked together and cooked up a masterpiece of gooey icing, colored candies and imagination. Here’s their recipe — you might want to add

it to your collection:

GINGERBREAD HOUSE8 cups of creativity 4 cups laughter6 tablespoons ginger 2 pints concentration3 cups cooperation Dash of cinnamon2 pounds royal icing 4 boxes of shortbread shingles1 cup friendship 3 cups determination

Jelly beans, peppermints, gumdrops and life savers as needed

Mix the creativity, cooperation and friendship. Then blend in the laughter,concentration and determination. Season with the ginger and cinnamon.

Apply candy and shortbread shingles with the royal icing.

Their over-sized house, still sitting in the Children’s Art Project craft room, was photographed in detail. It comes to you as a Christmas card and a Fitz and Floyd ceramic cookie jar — a treasure that will become a family heirloom!

This charming “mansion” is typical of the artwork produced by the pediatric patients from the Children’s Cancer Hospital. Art class is

fun! It distracts the children from their difficult cancer treatmentsand stimulates their creativity. The class also builds friendships

with other children who are experiencing cancer treatment. Art class teaches many techniques: collage, water color, pencil drawing, sugar and spice architecture and others.

Art class begins a process for the Children’s Art Project because all our products start with the children’s art. Transformed into

products that you can purchase, their artwork is the catalyst for the funds generated to underwrite programs benefiting the children. From the in-hospital education program to the many

college scholarships for current and former patients, or thesummer camps, rehabilitation ski trip, Child Life Program andmore, your purchase of items in this catalog helps us make

life better for children with cancer.

Romika Smith bubbles with energy despite the fact that she is in her second year oftreatment for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). That treatment is never fun, but Romika has managed to find many positive things at the Children’s CancerHospital. It was rough at first, she says, but she got used to the routine and met lots of people. She loved the in-hospital school and especially the great teachers. And of course, there was art class. Romika is part of the team that created the GingerbreadHouse. Her intense concentration as she worked on the project is evident in photos.Whether applying icing or sprinkling sugar on the finished product, it was fun to be asugar and spice architect!

Romika has experienced other programs funded by the Children’s Art Project,including Camp Star Trails and Camp A. O. K. The best part is meeting other kidswith cancer who understand what she is going through. She has moved on to a publicschool for her eighth grade year. English, reading and science are her favorite subjects.When she’s not in school, the series of Cheetah Girls books are favorites. She alsoloves to talk on the phone with her friends, shop, go places and stay busy.

And is Romika planning for a career? She is still thinking, but being a medicalexaminer is very interesting to her. Her mother says one of the most important things Romika has learned from cancer is to make goals in life and to know that great things are possible for her.

Every Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, pediatric patients in the Children’s CancerHospital assemble for art class. It is part of the in-hospital school curriculum, butschool has never been this much fun! The art class combines many of theingredients in the Gingerbread House recipe. Directed by the Children’s ArtProject’s creative wiz, Leon Benavides, art volunteers work with the children toencourage their creativity. These talented volunteers are all former teachers orartists in their own right. They bring a wealth of knowledge to the children, forthey are the master chefs and the pediatric patients their apprentices.

Cooperation and camaraderie bond friendships among the children as they sharepaint, markers, paper, scissors or other supplies. Laughter often erupts, as theychatter while they work. Each class revolves around a theme (Valentines, winterscene, flowers, Christmas trees, etc.), but within that simple boundary, theircreativity is encouraged and nurtured. The children concentrate on the techniquestaught by the art volunteers — water color, pencil drawing and collage to name a few. For all the children, the class is a break from their routine in the hospital — a moment to forget they are cancer patients. The art classes begin aprocess that circles back to the patients. When a child’s artwork is chosen as adesign for the Children’s Art Project, they feel a great sense of pride. They knowthat the sale of their product contributes to the funding of many programsbenefiting all the pediatric patients.

The art volunteers are a small group within the larger, diverse group of volunteerswho make the Children’s Art Project a great success. In the 2008 fiscal year,453,000 hours were donated — the equivalent of 217 staff members. Volunteers are the heart of the Children’s Art Project. We couldn’t do without them!
