"Mariam Joy", the flagship project of CIDO's on-the-ground partner Mariam Foundation, truly changes children's lives. These moments of care and joy provided by trained university students to children with cancer - particularly those from Gaza and the West Bank who undergo treatment without the presence of their parents - are a precious gift.
