Objective / Goal of the activity

Creating heart-shaped pillows that support the rehabilitation of patients after mastectomy.

Description

Wearing a pillow under the arm can relieve the pain, protect against accidental bumps, help relieve swelling and reduce shoulder tension. We were supplied with materials and machines from a foundation supporting crafts. The participants made the pillows by themselves first by cutting out the materials and then by using a sewing machine. Amongst them we promoted the idea of volunteering in a great cause.

Result of the activity

52 lovely pillows going straight to women in rehabilitation.
