INTERNATIONAL CHILDHOOD CANCER DAY (ICCD)

Many schools in Kwa Zulu Natal were identified to create awareness for childhood cancer. Our national theme was “HAVE A HEART FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER”.  Our aim was to create awareness in previously disadvantaged areas where due to the lack of infrastructure people have limited access to essential knowledge.  Research suggests that the earlier the diagnosis the better the prognosis. The response from schools have been unprecedented.

The following are schools that raised funds for CHOC during ICCD

Honours Social Work Students

February 15, 2012 Uncategorized No Comments

Our SW Honours students from UKZN at their placement at CHOC – Durban have been actively involved in providing family support to the parents at the CHOC LODGE. Social Workers are highly skilled in the principles of Case Work, Group Work and Community Work. They are the professionals that knit the foundations of community infra structure.

The Social Workers provide one on one support as well as conduct therapeutic group sessions with the mothers.

Together with this they went into the nearby Chesterville Community and have started to create awareness in schools, amongst teachers on the EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF CHILDHOOD CANCER.

They participated in a community awareness programme on cancer and thus brought awareness of CHILDHOOD CANCER to our nearby township.

We were proud of you and we salute you!

" HAVE A HEART FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER"

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CHILDHOOD CANCER DAY (ICCD)- CHOC – KZN

"HAVE A HEART FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER"

Several schools supported ICCD. CHOC’s theme is “HAVE A HEART FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER”. Instead of a Valentines Day, learners donated an amount to CHOC for the privilege of wearing civvies.

An amazing initiative that is supported by schools throughout KZN. All funds raised support our INTERACTIVE PLAY PROGRAMME in the ward.

THANK YOU for your support
