The world is full of defects, but some individuals are there too that never give up trying to tackle
defects and to make world a better place to live in. Seeing ill children could show us that we should
start fighting against defects in this world, to raise their hope and keep them positive which then
could lead to their wellness. The group of "Health and Art" (HEART) aims to mix the cooperation of
medical doctors and artists in order to help sick children to be strong for treatment, to be hopeful and
happy as these are the keys to a good treatment.
Artists can help doctors to boost the children's and their families' moral to be hopeful, happy and loved.
The HEART group is an international network, which all members are volunteers who want to help
ill people and try to make them happy and hopeful by their presence in health care centers.
This group is one of those NGOs that is non-profit and public, which is a part of the Universal
Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN).
