Bells!!! Date: Sunday, Dec 23rd, 2007 Time: 2.00pm to 6.00pm Location: Civil Hospital, Children's Cancer Ward Address: Civil Hospital Campus, Asarwa, Ahmedabad Phone: 9998937680 Cost: Free Tell us if you will be there After an amazing experience of celebrating Christmas
at the Cancer Hospital last year, we are once again gearing up for the
most rocking party in town!
We will be having Live
Music, Magician, Santa Claus, Theatre performance, gifts, games and other
surprises! There will be about 50 children in the age group
of 4 to 16 years. Many of them come from far away towns and villages for
treatment along with their families.
Some of them maybe celebrating Christmas for the first and last time in
their lives. Let us make it a celebration that elevates their spirit before
it goes back home.
'When
your fear touches someone's pain, it becomes pity. When your love touches
someone's pain, it becomes compassion.' - Stephen Levine
By a Shvaas Volunteer on Christmas at Cancer Hospital
last year: "Every
time I give something that I imagine is my own - My time, my resources,
my money, …anything. And when I know that I am not getting anything
in return, it creates a beautiful paradox within me. That moment somehow
transports me out of the world of logic. The world becomes illogical.
Actions become irrational…almost magical. The ego dissolves into
raindrops. Suddenly service turns into art. You feel like you are walking
a prayer which carries itself upward… through every touch…
every eye contact… through every smile in the heart. As if something
within me is traveling outside. It gives me an opportunity to reach deep
inside myself… and to put my heart in my hands and offer it to you
as a gift."
