CANSUPPORT’S OUTREACH PROGRAM
I was invited by the coordinator of one of CanSupport’s outreach programs to join an intriguing training that is taking place around Delhi, India, for women leaders in the Anganwadi movement. Anganwadi provides nutritional support and health care education for thousands of women and children. There are over 10,000 Anganwadi centers in Delhi alone. Imagine that! And each center serves around 150 families.
As part of the trainings with CanSupport, I had the privilege to lead our TSP transformational Self-Care exercise program for several centers of women community leaders. It’s practical and fun. The exercises teach everyone that it is possible to let go of stress, aches and pains, even for a few minutes. Then I shared ways to use these exercises in everyday life, and encouraged the group to share this in their centers.
ANGANWADI PROGRAM REACHES THOUSANDS
This program is inspiring and wonderful. A nurse and a coordinator from CanSupport train the women leaders and their assistants to understand the signs of breast and ovarian cancer. Once the training has taken place, the leaders return to their respective communities and teach the women in their communities how to use this information. Then CanSupport is available for consultations and free cancer screenings. What a great system. And now TSP Self-Care is being added to the trainings. I can’t describe the laughter and relief that took place!
