As we have been saying these days, February 15 marks International Childhood Cancer Day. That is why we bring you different notes that remind us that 250,000 children are diagnosed with this disease a year, and that many people fight alongside the sick to help them get ahead.
50% to overcome the disease is optimism, tells us one of the authors-promoters of this book that aims, precisely, to offer an optimistic vision about cancer to those who suffer from it, their families and society in general.
Several teenagers with cancer admitted to different hospitals in the Community of Madrid have shaped their world in "Through my Chamber", a book of photographs about cancer.
The work is the result of a photography workshop taught by volunteers from the Children's Association of Oncology of the Community of Madrid (Asion) who have overcome cancer and are already over 18 years old.
"Through my Camera" It shows the enthusiasm and commitment that this photography workshop has meant, both for young volunteers, and for all those children and adolescents who suffer from the disease and have participated in it. And is that offering a camera to small patients to show their world is already an exit to the routine and a new illusion.
The project seems exciting and the result is beautiful and hopeful. It reminds us of an exhibition of photographs that we talked about a while ago, "The Future exists", and that both have the same meaning, show the present of childhood cancer but also show that the future exists for those children.
The book "Through my camera" has just been released, on the eve of International Children's Day with Cancer, which is commemorated on February 15 with the aim of reminding society that this disease also affects children.
