A stack of old magazines will save nature and children

The idea of the Save a Child by Saving a Tree campaign is very simple. To participate, one just needs, instead of throwing wastepaper away, to donate it to the volunteers working for the Shining Rainbow Dnipropetrovsk regional charitable organization. The collected paper will be processed, and the sale’s proceeds will fund purchases of medical equipment for Dnipropetrovsk children’s hospitals.

The Shining Rainbow’s volunteer Karyna But explained at the press conference that they planned to use the campaign’s proceeds to buy for the neonatal intensive care unit of Dnipropetrovsk City Hospital No. 6 a perfusor, the device for precise dosage and steady infusion of medicines into the child’s body. It prevents little patients from developing adverse reactions and complications. In addition, they are going to buy for Regional Children’s Cardiology Hospital’s planned operations department with cancer treatment unit a cardiac monitor for 24-hour surveillance of cardiac activity. Wastepaper will be received at 3A Chervona Street in the center of Dnipropetrovsk through September 30. Most districts of the city maintain collection points of their own. A stack of old magazines or lecture notes may become an important contribution to the common cause of saving and helping sick children. The Shining Rainbow’s volunteers are happy to accept any help, but would especially appreciate assistance in organizing wastepaper collection in one’s apartment block, neighborhood, education institution, or workplace, as well as just spreading the news about the campaign among one’s friends. The detailed information is available on the organization’s website. Its young activists remind us that recycling just one ton of wastepaper saves 10 trees, 20,000 liters of water, 1,000 kilowatts-hours of electricity, as well as enough of ionized oxygen for 30 people to breathe. But most importantly, the donated wastepaper sale’s proceeds will help save children’s lives.
