Luncheon For A Cause
Eleven brave-hearts who survived Cancer were felicitated for their victory over a disease which is considered to be incurable, despite facing hardships, at a special Women’s Day Luncheon for a cause 🎀 organised by Sahaya Hastha Trust, on Tuesday, March 10.
Sahaya Hastha Trust is a Bangalore-based non-profit charitable trust, registered in the year 2014, and operates as a transparent and vibrant trust committed to the cause of the underprivileged. The Trust’s founder, Roopamouli Mysore, a champion for the education and empowerment of the underprivileged slum dwellers in our city, expressed that this year the trust’s focus has been Comprehensive care for Cancer.
Roopamouli Mysore tells me, “We have thus far successfully conducted Cancer screening camps in Jakkasandra and Aralumallige Village. Although Cancer specialists are available in metropolitan cities, they have been unable to reach out to the rural populace in time. But with increased awareness, cases of early detection of the disease has improved, as has the survival rate of patients. These patients need to be shown through examples the possibility for cancer patients to have an absolutely disease-free survival and quality of life, and the women facilitated today have been instrumental in assisting at these camps to bring about such awareness in the ‘Fight against Cancer’.”
As part of the “Go Green Stay Clean” campaign initiated by the Sahaya Hastha Trust, the luncheon for a cause also saw a composting demonstration by Vani Murthy, ambassador for the Swachagraha eco-campaign, geared towards creating awareness for cleaner and greener surroundings.
The Sahaya Hastha Trust is a relentless force that strides to the fore with a distinct vision; a vision to serve the poor and preserve humanity.
