The North Georgia LEGO Train Club (NGLTC) visited the Children’s Healthcare of
Atlanta at Egleston. For the fifth year in a row the NGLTC held our annual
Christmas ornament building session with patients of CHOA. The children are
helping make ornaments for the display being put on by the NGLTC at the CHOA’s
Festival of Trees. The tree display will include trees decorated with ornaments
made by the patients as well as many other local children. These trees are then
auctioned off to help raise money for the CHOA system.
The building session was a big success this year we had over 25 patients come
and help put together ornaments of all shapes and sizes. Not only do the
patients enjoy building with the LEGO but the entire family is encouraged to
contribute. This is a nice way to break up the day for children who have to
spend time at Egleston children’s hospital. It gives them a time to be kids and
not have to think about all the treatments and test they are undergoing.
The kids are a great help every year in contributing ornaments to the NGLTC
tree. We do make sure that no one goes home empty handed so each patient that
helped was given their choice of LEGO sets to take back to their room and
continue the LEGO building.
