the stories of Children

Isabel, age 10

Isabel

Isabel, her sisters and her father all have the same blood disabling blood disease. Normally life seems easy, and then, all of a sudden they can all be extremely ill. Normally this illness has its toll on the whole family and father and mother are very concerned about the well being of all their children. Through the concept of the Rainbow Tree and the Dreamblankets the family realized that they can create a way to stay connected and know that together they are far stronger than the challenges they have to deal with. 

Jafir, age 6

RBT1

Jafir came with her father from Afghanistan to the Netherlands to be treated for her Leukaemia, leaving her mother, two sisters and little brother behind in Afghanistan. She wanted us to use this picture of who she really is, not one of her lying in the hospital. The rainbow crystal and the rainbow bridge she imagines between her and the rest of her family, gave her the strength and resilience to deal with these traumatic times, especially when her mother, sisters and brother fled from Afghanistan with the aim to be reunited with father and Jafir. For two months they didn’t have any contact. At this time Jafir was going through bone marrow transplant.

Zena, age 13

RBT3

When you look Zena in the eye, you can tell she ia special. At 13 years old she and her sister in the back are staying at Moira an UNHCR refugee camp in Lesbos, volunteering at the child care centre there. Zena ’s father is a doctor and it took him and his family of nine about eleven months to flee from Afghanistan, via Iran, Irak, Jordan, Libanon and Turkey, to get to Lesbos. Zena wants to become a surgeon. Helping her to remember who she truly is inside, a power and resilience that will never go away, will only make her more determined to fulfill her dream, even in one of the worst and separate situations. She cherishes her dream blanket, because every time when she wraps herself in it, she reconnects with that inner knowing that she will always be greater than her challenges.


Silver, age 9

RBT12

You would not say that Silver is so ill when you see her, but she is. In spite of that she just wants to talk to her friends, do each other’s hair and play. Often she does not have the energy and than she dreams with her blanket. In this way she is not missing out on anything!

Together we can do it!

In the refugee camp of Moria, Lesbos, Greece over 3000 children recieved a dreamblanket.
Not only to help them through the winter but more so to make them feel loved, wanted and respected.

powerful children

What ever the circumstances,
you can always play; that is resilience!

Learn to celebrate after every storm!

what are your dreams?

Use your imagination to swim with a dolfin,
to race, to fly, to run as fast as you can,
or to just sit and be…

Stichting
de Regenboogboom

Wij willen dat de Regenboogboom een begrip is in Nederland, voor alle kinderen en de mensen in hun omgeving wanneer zij geconfronteerd worden met een ziekte, trauma of handicap. We maken hen bewust van de enorme kracht die zij van binnen hebben zodat zij op elk moment dat zij dat nodig hebben, zelf die kracht kunnen aanspreken. De focus verschuift van de uitdaging, beperking of ziekte, naar het kind zelf.
