Volunteer Puppeteer [ More info  ]         
Using a life size puppet the volunteer will perform within a group to children in a school environment. There are two elementary plays that explain in a holistic way the changes and feelings that a child experiences when they have cancer or another serious illness. The program works with the school's curriculum incorporating character development, focusing on the virtues of compassion, courage, respect, kindness and helpfulness. The puppeteers do not have to speak during the performances as the scripts have been prerecorded onto a CD using children's voices. The puppets then lip sink to the CD. Our volunteers really enjoy the program and have fun both as a group and with their young audiences. It is a very worthwhile and rewarding program.
