Read with Me for the Sick Children of Tabriz
The Society to Support Children with Cancer in Tabriz (Taskin), will implement the Read with Me program in the blood diseases and oncology ward of Farmanfarmayan Children’s Hospital.
Currently, 45 children are hospitalized in the blood diseases and oncology ward of this hospital and it has been arranged that each day, 10-12 of these children along with their mothers participate in book reading sessions.
These sessions will be held by one of the tutors of Taskin who has participated in the workshops of RWM on children’s literature and is familiar with the methods of holding reading aloud sessions and related activities.
The books used in these sessions have been chosen from the quality books of RWM and are compatible with the conditions of a sick child. They include books for children from 1 day old to over 13 years old which are accompanied by creative activities. The Taskin and RWM authorities hope to help children and their families to go through the tough process of healing more easily by creating moments filled with the joy of reading and happiness.
The books have been sent to this hospital and the program will start in the 3rd week of January 2017.
The Society to Support Children with Cancer in Tabriz (Taskin) is a Non-governmental Organization (NGO) that has been established to ease the difficult life of children suffering from cancer and their families through medication, education, research and social-cultural activities.
