Holiday Card Project
(In memory of Delton Brown)
What is the Holiday Card Project?
The purpose of the Holiday Card project is to create holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay.
Exactly who receives the cards?
The cards will be distributed to both U.S. and international hospitals. The cards will be delivered in person by a representative. The patients who receives the cards age in range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.
What should write in a card?
Be as creative as you like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include," Hope your feeling better", "Thinking of you", or "Have a nice day". Try to stay away from, "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriate for all patients. Remember to include a message of "Happy Holidays"
Will the patients know who sent the cards?
The only way a patient will know who the card is from is if you sign your name. If you would like to send your card anonymously, you may.
Can I send more than one card?
Absolutely! However, remember that quality is better than quantity. Sending one quality card that you put time and effort into is better than sending two cards

African Proverb #7
An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend.
I think this proverb means that you'd rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend. I think this because when you have a stupid friend, you don't really learn anything from them. Your the smart one in this situation. You know everything.... so it's like your teaching them what to do. If you have an intelligent enemy, your learning stuff from them but you and your friend are both intelligent. When they do an act or do something and you never seen it... you'll learn it and study it just in case they do something like that again. You'll be a step ahead of them.
I agree with this saying because I would rather have a smart enemy( even though we're not as close) than a stupid friend. I'll feel better in both situations because with the stupid friend... I'm teaching them something and with the intelligent enemy.... I'm also learning something.
