“A
Healer’s Touch” Sculpture
These
serpentine stone sculptures are hand-carved for the DAISY
Foundation by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.
The
sculptures are especially meaningful because of the profound
respect the Shona people pay their traditional healers. Shona healers
are affectionately regarded as treasurers by those they care for, and
the well-being and safety of the healer is of community-wide
importance. This describes exactly how the DAISY Foundation feels about
nurses.
Since the
sculptures are hand-crafted, each one is different, and each
one is signed by the artist. These artists support some 500 people in
their extended families with the money earned from the DAISY Foundation.
