Also, a member at Epidermolysis Bullosa without Borders (EBWB) which is a key initiative of Debra International. Its mission is to help EB patients & families in countries where there is no Debra structure to support them & to assist new groups to form & develop.
We deal with the mind of EB children by teaching them drawing, crafts, dancing, singing, decoupage and reading books. They display their work in exhibitions to sell and earn money to feel self dependent and sence of community participation.
Also, we arrange outings and celebrate mother’s day to encourage and change the mood of EB patient and their families.
We are working on enrolling THE EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA DISEASE under the 5% handicapped and with health insurance to make them feel they have the right to live with pride , hope and having a role in our society.
We hope for a CURE soon to alleviate the suffering of EB patients and their families.
