Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Spread a Smile Charity Day

Friday 11th March 2016 we supported the charity, “Spread a Smile”. The children came to school in their own clothes and the tzedaka collected went towards improving the time spent by seriously ill children in hospital.
This money raised will go towards providing entertainers for the children and teenagers who are in hospital, often for prolonged periods of time, with life limiting conditions including cancer and heart, lung and kidney related illnesses. The aim is to divert their attention away from their treatment, stimulate their minds and to alleviate the boredom and monotony associated with sustained hospital stays. This work extends to the siblings of these children, as they are deeply affected by the illness of their sister or brother.
