One of
the key responsibility area of Interact Club of year 2016 is to raise awareness
about cancer in the school community. To this effect, the Interact Club
organized a presentation to raise awareness about cancer amongst our support
staff on the 16th of April 2016, which was the third event in the series.
The
presentation was done by Dr. Savita, who is associated with
CANsupport and was
coordinated by Ms. Sindhu who is responsible for the organization’s resource
mobilization. The organization has been working with cancer patients for the
last 25 years and helping them lead better lives with their support and care.
Done in Hindi, this was first a general session for the entire support staff,
in which different aspects of cancer were covered and was followed by a session
only for female support staff, wherein the process of self -examination and
early diagnosis was emphasized. The
presentation was one of the first steps that successfully raised preliminary
level awareness about the disease amongst the support staff. Overall, the
session was an enriching experience both for the support staff and for the
Interact Club members doing their bit for the betterment of the society.
