Stereoscope postcard

A special postcard to inform supporters of Démétér House. Démétér House provides accommodation to the parents or relatives of young stem cell recipients during their treatment on hospital grounds. While lacking an adequate immune system, the patient is kept in a sterile isolation booth fora period of two to three weeks post-operation, during which the transplanted bone marrow becomes functional.

This postcard has a stereoscope function: if you look inside the card you can see a stereoscopic pair of separate images about a group of recovered happy children. There is the USB key with an informative video affixed to the backside.
