Each year about 230 Belarusian families face with children’s terrible diagnosis – it is cancer. They

 THE PROJECT AIM

The project aim is the financial help for children with cancer as well as non-financial help. Sick children need support and care and not only

the treatment itself. The project aim also is charity.

 ABOUT THE PROJECTTasks:1) to provide children with high quality preventive, curative and

diagnostic means, with food and other necessities

2) to give additional work for parents in different social projects

3) to ensure social and psychological adaptation of the children with cancer and to organize their free-time activities, their rest and recreation, to provide them fully functioning life.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

• It means that every week the volunteers will spend time with children, organize their activities. Unfortunately, it is not always easy because of the hospital orders.

• We are sure that there are a lot of empathic people who have ideas and a desire to bring these ideas to life. Fun, performance, competitions do the best to make children free of hospital boredom and bad mood.

ABOUT THE PROJECTWe believe that such events should be held constantly. This

way children can get used to communicate with new people, get new experience. We will look for new and

interesting activities, and we will always be grateful for the ideas and participation. We always need volunteers’ help, and this help can be any as well as immaterial or material.

Charitable activities is an opportunity for children to receive financial supporting, to

pay for expensive treatments and operations; it is an opportunity for adults to

express their empathy; it's a chance for families to overcome children's illness.

Resources:1.Free time and a desire to help.

We encourage SBMT students for volunteering, students often have more free time than a person who works. It does not need a lot of time. Even two hours is enough to play with a child and to give him the positive energy for all day.

2. Bank account to transfer money for children

3. Receiving office for goods and medicines.These offices are necessary to collect products, office supplies, medicines, or just gifts for children.

 Benefits of implementationThe greatest benefit is of course the assistance itself and the understanding the fact that you do something useful.

You know that you help children in post-hospital rehabilitation.

the reputation of our faculty. It may be a positive sign to choice exactly our faculty.

• Charity activity and the opportunity to collaborate with other charity organizations

20 years ago only 15% of children with cancer diseases had a chance to survive in Belarus, today it is 75% of all cancer cases. Volunteers have made a lot for this progress. We want to save more children's lives and we ask all not indifferent people: let's help children together to survive!
