cancer home visit 11/5/13

on Saturday,I went to the cancer home with other students and a teacher. the home is in Najjanankubi on Entebbe road and the experience was interesting. first, we were taken on a tour of the cancer home and this weekend, there weren't many people. however we made the most of it and were introduced to the patients. I had baked a cake and brought lollipops while other members brought soda, waffles. We shared our food and also brought food from the money we made at school from the Poetry bake sale and the yr7 car wash. my contribution was half of the money used to buy the non-perishable food bought for the home. I found the place to offer a great service were they took the patients to the hospital for treatment and back during the week and the home was a place for rest. One of the patients was a mother of a 9months old child and was struggling to support the child when she had cancer. another was a girl, her name Immaculate, and she had cancer in her foot but it was curable and she was very happy. Also there was a boy, Allan who had a swelling in the face and wasn't happy but when we shared food, he smiled. so that is how the visit went. the next one in 1/6/13
