About Juegaterapia<\/p>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

The Foundation<\/p>\r\n

\r\n The Juegaterapia Foundation helps children with cancer through games. It collects game consoles that people no longer use and distributes them to paediatric oncology rooms in Spanish hospitals so that children can spend their chemo cycles playing and forget about their illness. In Spain, it has already delivered consoles to 76 hospitals and also to hospitals in Portugal, Morocco, Colombia, El Salvador, Afghanistan, India, Guinea and Guatemala. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Projects<\/p>\r\n

\r\n El Jard\u00edn de mi Hospi is an initiative of Juegaterapia, a pioneer in Spain, which consists of recovering disused hospital rooftops and converting them into gardens so that all children in hospital can play outdoors. It has already built three: La Paz Hospital and 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid, and La Fe Hospital in Valencia. The fourth is already under construction at the Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n Hospital in Madrid. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
