Opening Note Dear All

I started this project last December but it has been delayed many times due to

other projects This project is very personal to me as I am at risk of getting cancer

in my 40s You may say this is very early to think of but cases have shown that

women in their 20s can get cancer This is why I started spreading the word now

while I am 19 years old This journey have impacted me very much and I am now

well educated about female oriented cancers I only wish that it have impacted the

Bahraini community as well

The AIESEC amp HSBC Women Cancer Awareness Project is an AIESEC initiative that

took place in partnership with HSBC Bank Believing in empowering young people

and impacting the society HSBC has always supported this project since July

As a representative of AIESEC I would like to thank HSBC Bank for sponsoring the

AIESEC amp HSBC Women Cancer Awareness Project and continuously supporting

the Organizing Committee Their support is highly appreciated and important

I would also like to acknowledge a number of organizations for believing in this

project and supporting it These organizations are Sakana and SICO Banks as

workshop partners as well as International Hospital of Bahrain Bahrain Cancer

Society Co-eds and Layalina Magazines Moreover I would like to thank the

management of Lagoon and Oasis Amwaj for the continuous support throughout

FACTS

Between 1988 and 2002 there were 2405 cases of cancer amongst Bahrainis 1166 of those cases were women Most of those women were of the age 50 and above which is the age risk for both Ovarian and Uterine Cancer But due to the rapidly modernized lifestyles that Bahrainis are living the age risk have been decreasing and more cases are found in younger women These cases start from the age 30 and above

For that AIESEC has joined forces with HSBC Bahrain to raise awareness about

across The three cancer types are Ovarian Uterine and Breast Cancer

Attendees Feedback ldquoI was very impressed with the level of organization and preparation for

such series of events by young people whose ages do not exceed 21 years

old It reflects a high level of awareness that these young people have

passed on to a wide audience who didnrsquot only enjoy the event but also got

educated about female oriented cancer I was very happy that it included

less popular cancer types in Bahrain such as Uterine Cancerrdquo

ldquoThe thing I liked about AIESEC amp HSBC woman cancer awareness project

was the walkathon Seeing people walking and i was one of them was

very inspiring and made be proud to be a part of a community where

woman cancer awareness is embraced Also the live entertainment and

bazaar was a good idea to attract familiesrdquo
