Shamime Mustapha, who attended the
workshop as a participant, gave CCN her assessment of
the program:
This was the Breast Cancer Awareness
Workshop attended by many and enjoyed by all. It was
plain to see that much effort had been put into every
aspect of the events of the day.
The ambience of the hall and organisation of the
programme, complimented with the culinary delights on
offer, pay testimony to the above.
We were well addressed by various speakers; some taking
the medical point of departure, detailing the signs and
symptoms of early detection, coupled with the various
methods of maintaining awareness. Practical
demonstrations along with startling facts and
audiovisual media, served to further educate and inform
the audience of the urgency of awareness.
A very inspiring talk by a breast cancer survivor,
brought forward the emotion, resilience, and humility
shared by all those touched by cancers, whether directly
or indirectly. Later in the day, a pleasant relaxation
exercise offered many an unexpected listener a few
moments to unwind.
Competitions were a plenty, creativity was awarded,
along with many random lucky draws.
Finally, we were treated to a fiesta of scrumptious
drinks and gourmet sandwiches, with sufficient time and
space to meet and greet.
We were equally fortunate to be able to use the volume
of leftovers to feed some of the cities' homeless.
Alhamdulillah, the entire event was wonderful!
We look forward to further such
endeavours
