I took my computer into the hospital to show Abisaid that he is in the video – The Oaxaca Project – giving hope to kids with cancer.
He is a shy 6 years old and had never seen himself in a video before. His eyes got wide and he gave me a big smile. He liked seeing himself on film. it obviously made him feel special.
I showed him this video specifically because I want these children to understand how important they are – as individuals – and as part of this project to help children with cancer. For a youngster to begin to grasp that they are participating in something bigger creates an opportunity for expansion and growth within them, it creates an understanding that they are important in this life and that it is worth living.
