ORGAN & TISSUE DONATION / TRANSPLANT
"Gift of Life"
THE KIDS ON THE BLOCK PROGRAM ON
Organ Donation and Transplant
Featuring: Melody James, Alex Landry and Michael Riley
Alex Landry is an 11 year old boy who has received the gift of a new
heart
through a heart transplant operation. Alex shares his own
experience
as a recipient of a new heart, why he needed a new heart and how it
feels
now. His friend, Melody James, whose brother Darryll died and
donated
his organs, talks about organ donation from a personal
perspective.
Together with Michael Riley, an 11 year old who is curious about both
organ
donation and transplant. The three dispel common myths and
misconceptions
about the nature of organ and tissue transplant and donation, discuss
the
decision to donate organs, demonstrate how to become an organ donor and
encourage audience members to initiate family discussion.
Developed in conjunction with the Tennessee Donor Services and Life
Resources Regional Donor Center, the program includes three scripts
suitable
for school-age to adult audiences in a classroom or hospital
setting.
Each script contains a public awareness message which can be used to
introduce
the important life giving issue of organ and tissue donation while
reaffirming
that making the choice to donate organs is a significant contribution
to
humanity. The Kids on the Block Program on Organ Donation and
Transplant consists of large hand-crafted puppets, three scripts,
props,
follow-up activities, and resources.
