November 2023
Ten
students from our department actively participated as volunteers in a cancer
detection camp organized by Adv. Rasheed's Charitable trust in association with
Regional Cancer Centre Thiruvananthapuram on 26/11/2023. The camp aimed to
provide early detection and awareness about cancer to the community, especially
to those who might not have easy access to healthcare services.
The
volunteers assisted in the registration process, ensuring that each participant
filled out the necessary forms correctly. They also provided guidance on the
different stages of the camp and the services offered.
The
volunteers conducted informative sessions on cancer prevention, using visual
aids and brochures to make the information more accessible and understandable
to the participants.
During
the screening process, the volunteers provided logistical support by organizing
the queue, ensuring a smooth flow of participants, and assisting the medical
staff as needed.

Recognizing
the emotional impact of cancer screenings, the volunteers offered empathetic
support to participants, reassuring them and providing a comforting presence
throughout the process.
The
volunteers helped in maintaining accurate records of the participants,
including their demographic information, screening results, and follow-up
recommendations. This data management was crucial for the organizers to assess
the effectiveness of the camp and plan future initiatives.
At
the end of the camp, the volunteers collected feedback from the participants to
evaluate their experience and gather suggestions for improvement. This feedback
would be instrumental in refining future camps and ensuring better service
delivery.
The
involvement of student volunteers from our department significantly contributed
to the success of the cancer detection camp organized by the said Organization.
Through their dedication, compassion, and hard work, they not only facilitated
the smooth functioning of the camp but also played a vital role in raising
awareness about cancer and empowering the community to take proactive steps
towards their health.
Such
initiatives highlight the importance of volunteerism in addressing societal
challenges and fostering a culture of service and compassion among the youth.
