Captain Star . ŽVAIGŽDĖ KAPITONUI

It is a day when children with cancer can stop thinking about their disease and enjoy their childhood, while their parents get connected to other families with the same fate, share information and experience.
When we speak about the disease in the foundation, we use a story we have created, that the ill children are Captains who are leading their ship through the ocean during the period of the illness. Throughout the journey anything can occur – calm days, gales, unfavorable wind, sea sickness… Once a year all Captains sail back to the „Island of Friends”. Thus, the event „Island of Friends” has always been dominated by the marine motives. More information about the „Island of Friends” can be found on the website of the foundation.
This year, we will invite the little Captains to lead their small boats to the island on the first weekend of July. It has become common that during each „Island of Friends” day children receive a trophy, which will be a reminder of Friends Island during the difficult journey throughout the disease. This year the little fighters will receive is a small starfish, so that during the treatment they will be accompanied by boundless hope, faith and success.
It could be made of felt – a soft material, which a child can cuddle or hold in the hands when hopes weaken. Dear colleagues and fans of felting, if you can and would like to felt a starfish for the captains, join this campaign. All felted starfishes will be posted here and given to the children in July during the „Island of Friends” event. Specifications of the star – a three-dimensional star-like object from 17 cm to 20 cm.
