Children at Verbier International School in Val de Bagnes, Switzerland sent personalized appreciation cards to Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH) staff.
The Class B (equivalent to Grade 2) students were participating in creative approaches to understand globalization and have been learning about healthcare across the world.
“It’s great for children to grasp the positive impact our hospital workers have in caring for those in need,” Verbier primary teacher Thomas McNulty said. “This activity has helped our students understand our global communities and at the same time deliver a bit of kindness in the world.”
The cards conveyed gratitude for the hard work ARH staff does. It was very touching to read them when they were received.
The gesture serves as a reminder of the ability to make meaningful connections in a world that is so large. The cards have left a heart-warming mark on the staff at ARH.
“Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give,” Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation executive director Elizabeth Harris said. “We are so thankful to the students of Verbier International School for thinking of all the hospital care team members.”
