walls of hope

The use of imagery and color can affect the way a person feels. Studies show that therapeutic murals in hospitals provide holistic healing to any child who is about to be examined or given treatment. The presence of these colorful murals is also a powerful way of relieving stress and easing the hearts and minds of its visitors.

A number of people who have visited the Philippine Children's Medical Center have been, in one way or another, inspired by the wall murals found around the hospital (i.e. the story of Munting Patak-ulan). However, most of the paintings have already deteriorirated or have been lost due to time.

Join us as we bring hope to more children through the restoration and improvement of PCMC's wall paintings.

You can now submit anything WoH-related. Thanks! :)

We are now open for submissions

You read the title right. WoH is now open for submissions. We’re pretty sure we aren’t the only ones who took pictures during the event, so why don’t you share your photos and tell a little something about your WoH experience? :)

But like anything else in this world, we do have guidelines for you. Aw, shucks guidelines.

  • You can only submit photos, notes, or articles that’s related to the event. If you have issues about copyright, then you’d be glad to hear that we won’t take credit for your submissions (do I hear a hallelujah? :D) because that’s actually punishable by law (we don’t have that much money so really, trust us that we won’t claim ownership of your submissions). Actually, it would be better if you would submit photos with watermarks to avoid Internet theft (or for articles, write your names/pseudonyms).
  • You can share your opinion about the event, and that includes constructive crit, if you have any. Constructive crit is good, but do know that there’s a difference between constructive crit to flaming (if you’re a fanfiction writer or reader at some point in your life, you’d probably understand this). We would like to hear feedback from everyone who joined the event. :)

So there. Submit all you want, it’s okay. :D Just make sure to comply with the guidelines. Thanks much!

Also, we are very grateful that even if the event is already done, you’re still following WoH in Tumblr. We really appreciate your support. See you in our future events! If we have future events, that is.

Hello dear followers! :D I know it’s a bit late for something like this, but in behalf of the WoH team, I would like to express our thankfulness for everyone who made WoH possible. Thanks for those who helped us prime some of the walls, outline the line drawings and paint. We’re also grateful for those who donated and prayed for us (haha). God is indeed a provider. :) I dropped by at PCMC last month. The paintings are still in good condition. You can also drop by at the hospital if you have time. I’m sure you want to see the awesomeness that you’ve done. :D P.S. Pardon any grammatical errors. I’m kind of paranoid with anything that’s related to grammar. Ha. XD -Ella
