The educational center of San Pedro del Pinatar has presented the project "Do you want to be my friend?"
with which they have customized the treatment boxes for children undergoing oncological treatment at the Virgen de La Arrixaca hospital.
The Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Adela Martínez-Cachá, and the Mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Visitation Martinez, attended today the presentation of this solidarity project of the Manuel Tárraga Escribano IES, which has had the collaboration of FAPA Pinatar and Afacmur, among others.
The idea consists in the personalization of some boxes made with 3D printers in which they can be inserted, so that they are no longer visible, the chemo bags.
The boxes are made in different parts of the world, and what they do in the institute Manuel Tárraga Escribano is to personalize them with their own design, which includes the character or superhero that the child likes the most and magnets, in addition a logo with the name is personalized of each sick child, and at the end of his treatment he takes it as a souvenir.
30 boxes have been customized, which this Friday will take them to the Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital in Murcia to give them to sick young people who are admitted, and who are currently 27. The counselor praised this project and "that a group of teachers and students have decided to carry out an idea as beautiful as it is necessary. "
In this project, the four professors of the Technology Department and the 80 second-year students of the ESO of Robotics participated, using three 3D printers at full capacity.
"The aim of the center is to involve and raise awareness among students of the need to be in solidarity with others, making them themselves design and actively participate in the construction of these boxes with 3D printers," said the counselor.
The germ of the idea came from knowing a campaign launched in 2013 by a Brazilian advertising agency in a hospital in Sao Paulo.
He was the president of the FAPA of San Pedro del Pinatar, Sebastian Mateo, and the Department of Technology, especially Professor Sergio Marín, who took the witness when a year ago they saw in social networks the demand of a father who has a son of six years fighting against leukemia.
