'Light in the Ward' Project Brings Music and Joy to Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital

A voluntary and solidarity initiative brings music and hope to patients at Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital, through characters who entertain those admitted.

The 'Light in the Ward' project has expanded its presence at Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital, with new volunteers embodying the characters Maria, Xico, and Joca.

This voluntary and solidarity initiative aims to humanize the hospital environment, offering moments of comfort and joy to patients and their families. The project is driven by mentor Carolina Abreu, along with João Pedro Ramos and Túlio Ferreira, who bring these characters to life.
