You can see artwork in anything, especially if you’re as creative as the young patients in the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Last year, eight pediatric artists created an old-timey gingerbread house complete with candy canes, peppermints, colorful gumdrops and other sweet treats, gooey icing and, of course, gingerbread. When these youngsters gathered for their regular art class as part of the in-hospital school curriculum, they discovered all the materials necessary to put the house together. Armed with architectural advice from their art teacher, they built a colorful mansion (and somehow managed not to eat it!). One look at this design masterpiece and the Children’s Art Project knew they had a winner. The house was photographed from every angle and has reappeared for this year’s holiday season as a spectacular cookie jar, a charming ornament and an especially sweet greeting card. While the young patients were building their gingerbread house, they went a step further and built friendships. The art class is a diversion from the daily tedium of a hospital stay, and the imaginations and creativity of the children become rapidly visible. Another special aspect about the art classes is that they are the beginning of what the Children’s Art Project is all about. They are creative learning experiences for the children – and the foundation for all products sold by the project. Using every material imaginable, these talented patients create beautiful art that is eventually transformed into greeting cards and gifts. The products are sold and proceeds return to fund many M. D. Anderson programs – from the in-hospital school and college scholarships to summer camps and exciting parties and outings, the young artists can take pleasure in doing what the Children’s Art Project is all about – making life better for children with cancer.

Fadila Farag is a great sugar and spice architect! Concentrating on details, she worked carefully to place each tiny candy in the right spot on the gingerbread house. While she worked, she was able to escape her life as a cancer patient and all the stressful, sometimes painful, things that go with the diagnosis. Fadila, at 10, is also a young entrepreneur with a big heart. For two years she has hosted a lemonade stand in honor and memory of the friends she has made at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She has raised thousands of dollars in the past two years for childhood cancer research. Why is she wearing a mask with her pink dress? Pink is Fadila’s favorite color, but the mask is there for protection. It’s not to protect others from something that Fadila has (cancer is not contagious), but to protect her from other’s germs. The treatment of cancer often weakens a patient’s immune system, and Fadila’s mask is her line of defense. Some patients must be in isolation for specific periods — for instance, after a bone marrow transplant — to protect them from bacteria and viruses that would not harm a healthy person. Others, like Fadila, must be careful wherever they go to protect their immunity. Fadila is a native of Egypt, so her treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, has been a cultural experience for Fadila and her family. She has taken advantage of the in-hospital classroom to keep up with her studies, while her mother has worked with physicians, nurses, child life specialists, social workers, advocates and others to make sure her daughter has great cancer treatment with support for the whole family. Meanwhile, Fadila has enjoyed summer camp, art classes and several Child Life programs, including many field trips. All these programs — and more — are funded by your purchases from this catalog. And Fadila and all the pediatric patients at the Children’s Cancer Hospital are grateful for your help!

Eight young patients from the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center are the certified architects of the sweetest house on the block. Constructed from all things yummy, the designers even managed to leave their work intact – although it’s suspected that some of the candy made it to their tummies.

Romika Smith bubbles with energy despite the fact that she is in her second year of treatment for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). That treatment is never fun, but Romika has managed to find many positive things at the Children’s Cancer Hospital. It was rough at first, she says, but she got used to the routine and met lots of people. She loved the in-hospital school and especially the great teachers. And of course, there was art class. Romika is part of the team that created the Gingerbread House. Her intense concentration as she worked on the project is evident in photos. Whether applying icing or sprinkling sugar on the finished product, it was fun to be a sugar and spice architect! Romika has experienced other programs funded by the Children’s Art Project, including Camp Star Trails and Camp A. O. K. The best part is meeting other kids with cancer who understand what she is going through. She has moved on to a public school for her eighth grade year. English, reading and science are her favorite subjects. When she’s not in school, the series of Cheetah Girls books are favorites. She also loves to talk on the phone with her friends, shop, go places and stay busy. And is Romika planning for a career? She is still thinking, but being a medical examiner is very interesting to her. Her mother says one of the most important things Romika has learned from cancer is to make goals in life and to know that great things are possible for her.
