Health: Cancer prevention awareness campaign and sports

Promoting a healthy and active lifestyle are our targets in this department. Our volunteers and partners have continuously encouraged others in Cameroon and around the World to learn and engage in living a healthy and active lifestyle.  We promote health education through street campaigns and other outreach programmes.

The increasing number of unhealthy people in our communities, has led to a call for concern which we are joining-in to change the narrative by encouraging people to do self-care activities, self-examination, regular hospital checks, exercises, nutritional watch …. Some of our most popular activities here include: Youths who run the World, Pink October breast cancer prevention awareness campaign among others. We believe humans can be healthier if they are aware of preventive methods to diseases which are less costly than the cure. Some of our favorite quotations so far in this sector are:  “a carrot a day takes cancer away”, “health is wealth”, “always live a healthy and active lifestyle”….

So far, we sincerely appreciate all our volunteers who have served in this department and those still serving and the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education through Mr. Bekono Daniel for their endless support. Also we always acknowledge our medical experts who have been inspirations to our communities volunteering to help us achieve our targets in this department like Prof. Enow Orock, the former Director of the Regional Hospital Buea, Dr. Albertine Eloundou, Oncologist in Douala, Dr. Dormin Ekane of HERO Cameroon, coach Celestine of Dream Body Fitness, Dtor Sea Initiative, Dan Thompson of Run the World, UK Cancer Research Trust, Project Pink Blue of Abuja Nigeria, Dr. Martin Mokake the current Director of the Buea Regional Hospital among others. We believe their collaboration so far has helped in creating more awareness about promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in our communities.
