Holiday Card Project

What is the Holiday Card Project?
The purpose of the Holiday Card Project is to create holiday card for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay.

Exactly who receives the cards?The cards will be distributed to both U.S and international hospitals. The card will be delivered in-person by a representative. The patients who receive the cards age in range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should I write in a card?
Be as creative as you'd like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greeting include" Hope you're feeling better","Thinking of you",or"Have a nice day". "Try to stay away from "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriate for all patients.

Remember to include a message of "Happy Holidays".

Will the patients know who sent the cards?
The only way a patient will know who the cared is from is if you sign your name. If you would like to send your card anonymously, you may.

Can I send more than one card?
Absolutely! However, remember that quality is better than quantity. Sending one quality card that you put time and effort into is better
than sending two cards that were thrown together.

Is there a specific size or medium card?
There is no specific size for the card. Use your best judgement. You can design a decorate cards by drawing , coloring or painting. You can use glitter, construction, paper, cardboard, markers, crayons, colored pencils, ribbons, etc. , to make your card special you can also design your card using Photoshop. In Photoshop please use 4*6 of 5*7 for your dimensions.

African proverb#7

An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend.

I think this proverb means that an intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend because that intelligent enemy maybe an enemy but you may learn some things out of that person. I think this also mean that an intelligent friend can do something that maybe is mean to that person but the stupid friend can know that his/her enemy will always know that, that enemy can teach you something. this proverb mean to me that you may have an intelligent enemy but is also smart and that person can really know lots of things.
