The Great Falls Optimist Club of Great Falls, Virginia found a new way to help homebound children experience life. The project is called Hopecam. Hopecam provides the equipment, technology and training to connect homebound children with their friends, teachers and classrooms at no cost to the child's family or school.
According to Hopecam.com, "after medical treatment, social interaction is the best medicine a homebound child battling long-term illness can receive."
The Great Falls Optimist Club donated $10,000 to the cause. Ten students will benefit from their generosity. I'm hoping even more will benefit from other Optimist Clubs learning about this great cause.
