The Sacyr Foundation has teamed up with Fundación Juegaterapia to donate two 'kicycles', which are tricycles fitted with IV poles attached to the back, so that the children can move freely and play while they receive their chemotherapy. These two 'kicycles' carry the Sacyr Foundation signature. Now, some volunteers from the Sacyr Foundation have offered to game online with the children from Fundación Juegaterapia.
If they are focused on a game, the children can forget for a little while about their illness, making their bodies produce endorphins. Endorphins help reduce pain and create a feeling of comfort, accrording to Fundación Juegaterapia. For that reason, our volunteers from the Sacyr Foundation have offered their time to play with these children.
Gema López is one of our volunteers: "I've been playing League of Legends with my new buddy from Juegaterapia. League of Legends is a co-op game, based on team-work, so we can get to know each other better. This experience is so enriching at a personal level and I'm having so much fun doing my part".
With initiatives like this, the Sacyr Foundation backs Fundación Juegaterapia and its motto: “The chemo playing flies by”.
