"This morning we chose to design Scooby Doo to lighten the day." Karen Gonzalez, social health worker serving at the tampon center of Villa Bombrini, in Genoa Cornigliano,
thus tells the theme chosen to bring a little lightness to the children who are waiting to have the tampon.
Karen's day begins a little earlier than that of the others, to have time to design the coats that will be worn by her colleagues with the cartoon characters, but it is something she does with joy. "In the morning with colleagues we sit down to think - continues Karen - we choose the type of drawing from the internet and then I make them. There are times we fail, for a time factor but we try to do it as much as possible. On average I I make between 5 and 7 designs on the shirts, for now I make them on the blue ones, which are heavier but also easier to draw, but now that the weather improves and you start wearing the lighter ones we will see how to do it, anyway , the drawings".
An activity that has developed since the start of the activity in Cornigliano and which has been welcomed with joy by the little ones but also by adults. "The idea of the drawings came from our colleague Karen to alleviate the suffering of people - says the Nursing Coordinator Rehhal Oudghaugh - and this drawings, effectively, give a little lightness to patients throughout the process, from the reception to the when they are buffered. People are curious, they ask why these drawings are made, and this creates an empathy that is very precious to us ".
