Cancer Charity home visit

The last visit for the Cancer Charity Foundation was on 11 December, 2013. We went there to see the place and the new patients. We found mainly children and most of the adults were still in the village. The director of the home told us that many patients died before the festive season that since there were children living in the place, they had to take the people who died out before they woke up. The home also provides and arranges funeral arrangements for the dead patients and transportation to their respective villages to be buried. There was a child who was sick of leukemia and we also learnt of a family where the mother and her two children all had cancer. With the money we raised with the non-uniform day, we bought flour, sugar, salt, soap, butter, rice, oil and bread. The visit went as planned and the stories of the patients were sad but they were happy. It was sad to know that some of the people we went to see the last time had died but a few remained alive. I also found out that other sponsors for the home were Barclay's and Standard Chartered. I learnt that cancer as a disease it a struggle and that life and death is one  of those struggles.
