I assisted in registering kids and gave them all gifts and took pictures of them today on the first day of their camp. I also crowned all the girls as princesses and the boys got Hotwheels .It was such a rewarding experience . Next Year I want to volunteer for the whole week as a counselor. It reminded me of my Girls Scout camp when I was 10 yrs old . My most memorable moment was one a little girl said "You can't be a princess if you have Arthritis" My answer, You can be anything you want if you dream it, want it and work for it".
Dr Rafael Chivas- Chacon is the head of the clinical camp . He is the Chief of Rheumatology for Miami Children's Hospital and is also my Doctor. I was so happy to be able to share this time with the kids and be a mentor for them. I can also understand their illness since I am Dr Rivas 's Patient myself and have had years of challenges with this chronic illness including multiple reconstructive surgery of my hands and feet .
I even got a paint Crown on my face :))) Please click on "Older Posts " to scroll down to moroe events and pictures
