In commemoration of World Cancer Day on February 4, and in solidary with cancer patients and their families, Agency for Social Protection (ASP) staff set up a small stall outside their office at Ocean gate House yesterday, to raise awareness about the disease.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Seychelles NATION, chief executive of ASP, Brenda Morin said they were giving out leaflets to educate people on the financial help provided to cancer patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we know some cancer patients cannot work and we have to help them financially,\u201d said Ms Morin.<\/p>\n

There was also a donation box on site for any contribution as well as the sale of different items to passers-by for fundraising. These included scrunchies made by ASP employees, which were selling at R25 and R15, calendars and bookmarks for R10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scrunchies are multi-colour as we are raising awareness of all the different kinds of cancer,\u201d shared Ms Morin.<\/p>\n

ASP said all the money raised will be donated to a cancer patient.<\/p>\n
