Even before the invention of radios, movies, and television printed information from news papers, magazines, and books were a powerful force in shaping how people think and behave. Broadcast media are even more powerful than printed publications because they can reach more people and reach them faster.

African Proverb #8

An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend



I think this quote means that it is better to have an enemy that is smart than a friend that is dumb because if you have an smart enemy, you can learn by your mistakes from their actions. As to when you have a stupid friend, if they try to trap you in any way , you are already ahead of the game. This also goes to another quote that says " Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". Which in this case is very true.

Holiday Card Project

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 to a person by a representative . The patients who receive the cards age in range of children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should I write in a card ?


Be as creative as you would like. Just remember, the degree of illness of 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 on the card. 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 that were thrown together.

Is there a specific size or medium for the card?

There is no specific size for the cards. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing, coloring or painting. You can use glitter , construction paper, card board, markers, crayons , colored pencils , ribbon, etc, to make your card special. You can also design your card using photoshop. In Photoshop, please use 4*6 or 5*7 for your dimensions.
