Toufoula is a Lebanese voluntary〔Fundraising for Toufoula (Fundraising for Toufoula: Chayas' lunch at Tawlet )〕 health organization dedicated to improve the quality of life of children suffering from cancer and blood diseases by designing and creating a unique and colorful environments aimed at offering a safe haven throughout their treatment. Toufoula was co-founded in 2006 by a group of young volunteers in Beirut, Lebanon. The word Toufoula is Arabic "طفولة" for "Childhood"〔Time out Magazine (Toufoula: Childhood Organization by Time Out Mag )〕 and the organization mission is to improve the quality of life of children suffering from cancer or blood diseases. ==Dream Room Project== Toufoula's main project is the "Dream Rooms"〔Toufoula's Dream Rooms (Dream Rooms Pictures )〕 and its aim is to design a "dream floor" ward in all hospitals where children receive therapy. Dream Rooms aim at derailing the children from the arduous treatment and journey while hospitalized. To that end, Toufoula co-founders started this initiative by upbringing of the idea that was then extrapolated via the collaborative work with other architects and designers. Toufoula had a number of designs submitted namely by Bernard Khoury, Celia Arbid, Nadim Karam, Simone Kosremelli, Raed Abi Lameh, Karim Chaya, Nada Debs,Erga group: Randa and Elie Gebrayel, Jean Louis Mainguy, Karen Chikerjian, Michele Maria Chaya, Lina Ghotmeh, JWT, Zuhair Murad, Rabih Keyrouz, Gina Succar, Michele Stanjovsky, Jalal Mahmoud, Sary El Khazen〔Designing Our Space (Dream rooms )〕 and IB2 who contributed a lot for Toufoula by advertising for the concept of the Dream Room project by a slogan " No Color , No life " noticing that IB2 is an expansion unit of Impact BBDO. This project is to be implemented in all the hospitals that have oncology hematology wards all around Lebanon. It has been implemented in 3 major hospitals already since the year 2008: *Hotel Dieu de France (HDF): 18 rooms, a playroom and a corridor were executed, their total cost was $195,983 granted from an individual donor.〔iLoubnan.info (January 11, 2010) (Toufoula do come true )〕 The ward in HDF is in memory of Myrna Baz. *Rafik Hariri University Hospital: 4 rooms were executed, their total cost was $20,471 by donors such as Kockache,Procter and Gamble. *Al Makassed Hospital: 8 rooms, they cost a total of $53,970 from donors such as HSBC, Roche, Novartis and individual funds. *Currently, Notre Dame des Secours funded by the Choueiri family in the memory of M.Antoine Choueiry.
