Holiday Card Project (In memory of Delton Brown)

What is the Holiday Card Project?
The purpose 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 US and international hospitals. The cards will be delivered in person by a representative. The patient who receives the cards age range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should I write in the card?
Be as creative as you'd like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it's important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include, "Hope you're feeling getter", "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 include a message of "Happy Holidays!

Will the patients know who sent the cards?
The only way a patient will know who sent the card 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 an effort into is better than sending two cards that were thrown together.

Is there a specific size or medium for the card?
There is no specific size for he cards. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing, coloring or painting. You can use glitter, construction paper, cardboard, markers, crayons, colored pencils, ribbon, etc, to make your card special. You can also design your card using Photoshop. In Photoshop please use 4x6 or 5x7 for your dimensions.

African Proverb #9

"An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend."



To me this proverb means that it's better to have some that is above your level or that can challenge you rather than to have someone that is close to you and is no type of competition. If you have someone that is your enemy that most likely means that you two are always having a competition. Being intelligent is something every one will compete for. Even though you two are competing for intelligence and are enemies it's like you're the closest friends. Unlike the the person or persons that are considered to be your closest friends, the only competition that you can really have is like on video games or other fun stuff. After a while competing on those things get boring, then the friend starts feeling like the enemy because all your time is being spent on the enemy.

For example all you and your friend ever do is see who can dress better or get the most boys, but aside from that you have the person who you hate or dislike always trying to See who gets straight A's on their report card or on tests. While you spending more time on the competition between you and your enemy your friend wounds up wining but you don't care. Then your enemy turns out to be your friend and your friend is still your friend but at the same time your enemy.
