Rware Cancer Support Group

Rware Cancer Support Group is a community based self-help group made up of cancer patients and survivors in Nyeri, Kenya. Their purpose is to empower women by giving them hope and a means to earn a living while undergoing treatment and even after treatment. In addition, the group has an out reach program that has been the ‘inner voice’ encouraging women/men to go for regular check ups and more. 

Cancer has become a public health concern in Kenya with many cases being reported and often misdiagnosed until to late. More so, many patients find themselves in dire financial situation as a result of a cancer diagnosis. consequently, the choice between treatment or taking care of loved ones becomes a reality. It is often patients choice to forego treatment to feed their children and take care of their families.

#Women’sHistoryMonth

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, I felt this article can add value to someone. Mastery is achieved via repeating small steps on a daily basis. Our daughter has exemplified such a character and the limits are unknown…(anyway, who says there should be limits on what one can achieve…the only limits are those we self inflict upon ourselves by our own thinking). What one thinketh, so is he/she!

Eagle Flight School in East Orange certainly deserve kudos for the opportunity they have given to aspiring pilots. It would not be easy without such wonderful people.
