This morning was not your ordinary Wednesday!
For a moment there I thought we were in trouble, but everyone at the hospital where I volunteer was so helpful and professional. I was drawing a young girl and we were having a conversation about a Robert Downey Jr movie when the alarms went off . We were moved to the hallway, where we were given blankets and masks and offered something to drink. I got water because my mouth was dry (probably from talking so much, and, I was scared)
Volunteer Caricatures
Caricatures speak the universal language of laughter, a languaje which is not limited by geographical boundaries or financial status. It is only limited to accessibility and exposure. I always wanted to share my drawing skills to make children smile. Every Wednesday I head out with my easel, paper, and colors to the Children's Mercy Hospital in my hometown, to draw sketches of the young patients, who enjoy getting their caricature drawn, happily getting involved in choosing a cartoon body according to their favorite hobby,sport, or hero.
