We are off to Kenya, again!
We are off to Kenya, again!. We are very excited to welcome volunteers from the UK, Canada New York and West Africa. We are looking forward to another successful Cancer awareness program. With the support of the First Lady and Minster of Health in Busia we have examined over 3000 people since the birth of this program. To register click here.
We are returning to Busia, Kenya to continue the work CCA, The County Health department, the selfless volunteers and the determined commitment of the 1st Lady H.E Judy Ojaamong started in 2014. You can join the group of volunteers travelling to rural Kenya in October to help raise Cancer awareness. Register now for more information or to join us in 2017. We have made huge steps when looking at where we started as we are happy to have volunteers from as far away as Canada, Great Britain and some West African countries. But we need more volunteers to make these trips much more exciting than we have ever had.
The First Lady of Busia county, has been instrumental in the success of the Cancer awareness program that started in 2014 in collaboration with Cancel Cancer Africa. We will not give up on Africa, Africa needs all of us. It is the little steps that we take, that makes all the difference. To volunteer, kindly register and we will gladly contact you. It is very important that those people we were examined over the last 24 months be reviewed. Our task for this program is to revisit the people who presented early signs and symptoms.
What do we do: We support the local health officers in educating the local people on the early Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer while teaching them how to carry out self-examinations. We share informative literature with pictures. We conduct surveys to help us understand the trends and assist the Government make progress. Over our last two visits we have been able to educate and survey over 3000 people.
Who can Volunteer: Â We welcome medical and non medical volunteers. There is an exciting role for everyone. You can either work with the lovely and funny local nurses, or work with other volunteers to carry out surveys. There is always an exciting role for everyone. Just come with an open heart and let’s make that difference together. www.cancelcancerafrica.org
