Cancer detection workshop at RC Kundli
With the aim to sensitise women on the need for early screening, RC Kundli, RID 3012, conducted an awareness workshop on breast cancer in partnership with the Rotaract Club of SRMUH. Over 50 participants from various walks of life were educated on early detection of symptoms by self-examination.
The awareness workshop provided information on early signs of breast and other cancers in women, “thus empowering them to seek timely medical help if they detect anything unusual,” said outgoing club president Shikhar Sharma. Doctors explained the lifestyle factors, genetic disposition and age-related riks that can influence the development of cancerous growth in the body. “The importance of mammogram and clinical examination were emphasised, urging women to go for regular screening,” he said.
A community support team was created for clarifying doubts, and women were told to take charge of their health. At the end, all the participants thanked the club for organising the workshop that helped them to recognise the early symptoms of breast cancer through some simple techniques.
RID 3012 DG Prashant Raj Sharma inaugurated two anganwadis that were renovated by the club at the Rasoi School Complex in Sonipat district. “These were in a bad shape and children found it difficult to stay there, especially during summer. We brought in positivity with a new ambience that brought smiles on the faces of these children,” said Shikhar Sharma. “We distributed stationery kits to all of them.” The anganwadis also double up as maternal care centres.
Earlier, the club had built toilet blocks, installed handwash stations and drinking water booths at the Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Nangal.
Bicycles were donated to 20 students at the Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Nangal, in Bhiwani taluk, Haryana, with DGND Ravi Bali as chief guest. In the past, the club had built toilet blocks, installed handwash stations and drinking water booths in this school. Recalling the past work, the school authorities thanked the club for its sustained efforts to improve the sanitation and other facilities in the school. As an expression of gratitude, students staged a cultural performance for the Rotarians showcasing the rich Haryanvi culture.
T-shirts were distributed to 650 students at the Government Senior Secondary School, Aterna, in Sonipat in the presence of DG Sharma who appreciated the club for taking up a range of educational projects. In his address, club president Shikhar Sharma advised the students to “prepare for the future by taking part in competitions.”
More than 150 units of blood was collected at a blood donation camp, and the volunteers who could not donate due to time constraint requested the club to arrange a similar camp soon. The club thanked the donors for a massive response to the event.
