Kidwai Memorial institute of Oncology

DATE : 24th July 2014
Venue : Kidwai Memorial institute of Oncology, Bangalore
Audience : Kids from the age of 3 to 13 who are undergoing treatment for Blood cancer in the Pediatric ward.

The Image Consultants from IMPA, who pitched in to conduct the activities for the kids were Leema Bernad Viji, Indu Venugopal, Rose Peck, Amita S. Poornima Kotak and Hema Garood.

They started by guiding the kids in drawing and painting. Most of the kids were enthusiastic about filling in the artwork with colours from their crayons. They were enthusiastic about colouring as much as they could. Then Poornima conducted a story telling session where they were led to different situations using mime, acting, dance & imagination. They loved the session. There were close to 70 kids in the ward and 35 kids who attended the session. We also gifted each kid with a crayon box and fruits. The crayons and fruits were contributed by Shabana Khan ( who was unable to be present ) and the rest of us who were present during the session.

The members who attended the session and participated, promised to go back there and conduct sessions that will make the little ones forget their pain.
