THE SURGI DOLLS PROJECT THIS MONTH AT JJC
Like any other organization or club within the domains of fighting for a cause and maintaining their goals, we (as the patrons of protecting our environment) know we cannot limit ourselves to one thing for another and that in most instances, things cannot be accomplished without the unity of a community, and what better way can we engage ourselves in assisting those who just right across the street from John Jay’s society? Two words: Surgi-Dolls!
What is it? Surgi Dolls are delightful companions made for children who are undergoing surgery and/or other medical procedures. They are helpful to doctors too, so that they can demonstrate where an incision will be made or what body parts will be treated by drawing or using play medical tools on the dolls. The dolls are left blank so that each child can color, decorate, and make the doll his or her own.
When and Where? Continuing ALL THIS MONTH, we will be working with JJ’s Community Outreach (North Hall Building- Rm. 3408)
Why Should I? (Cause we always want to know why we do the things, we do! As if, the title doesn’t say it all!) St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital would like us to make as much dolls as possible for their Child Life Program. It is our way of showing them support that they can go through whatever procedures they encounter with low stress and anxiety, so they can be home no sooner than tomorrow! That’s why, we need all the help that we can get!
For more information, please contact The Office of Community Outreach at John Jay College at 212-237-8000, or just stop in the North Hall Building-Room 3408.
