Cancer Aid Committee Organizes Its 3rd Camp

On 20th October, the Cancer Aids Committee organized its third free screening camp in association with the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) and Bhavishya Yaan at the Colaba Municipal School. President Dr. Mukesh Batra, who visited the camp, enquired about the various tests undertaken and statistics, while assessing the set-up and the scope of the camp. He also felicitated the Colaba School Principal, Mr. Magar, and thanked him for the constant support extended towards Bhavishya Yaan and RCB’s various other projects.

Amongst those present were Rtn S.K. Mitra (Committee Member), Rtn. Madhusudan Daga (Chairman Cancer Aid Committee), Rtn. Rajesh Shah and Rotaryanne Ekta Shah (Committee Member). CPAA came with a team of 14 doctors and technicians, which was lead by Rotaryanne Sushmita Mitra, Director – Projects at CPAA. Mrs. Mitra also acted as a consultant for tobacco users, and patiently explained to them how they were abusing their bodies.

In addition to the above, Rotaryanne Rinku Suchanti, very ably organized the event with support from VIDYA & the Info-troopers. They helped set-up the camp, organized the Bhavishya Yaan parents, served tea and biscuits to them. They also explained the benefits of the camp to those parents who were apprehensive, and got them checked. Some parents were urged to use CPAA facilities for free follow up tests, and we hope they see value in it and utilize the opportunity provided to them.
