OCTOBREAST TSEK YEAR 2

When needs are high, health and wellness in most cases are given least priority especially for individuals without HMOs. Sadly public school teachers aren’t new to this. In the absence of such benefit, detection of certain illnesses happen when symptoms get worse. In its own humble way, JCI Mandaue attempts to bridge this gap.

 

Thus, this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the chapter launched for the second consecutive year the OctoBreast Tsek Project aimed at fighting the disease among women. In its support for the Pink October movement and the Teachers Month celebration, the chapter brought the project to the teachers and several parents of Mayor A. S. Fortuna Memorial Elementary School.

 

Under the MandaWeCare program, OctoBreast Tsek offered an educational breast cancer awareness session from the Project Chairperson himself, Dr. Niño Jessie Villanueva. Participants also received free clinical breast screening and consultation from our volunteer doctors. This year, glow-up and wellness services were available to give a bit of pampering — simple gestures of appreciation for all that they do in nurturing the youth.

 

Participants who manifested symptoms will undergo through examinations and get referred to established partner organizations for treatment.

These words of appreciation from a teacher-beneficiary extends to all partners and sponsors as the project wouldn’t be possible without their support. The incumbent JCI Mandaue President, Judee Kwan Sollamillo with the incoming 2023 President, JM Bercede-Yap, his board of directors and the rest of the Mandaue Merry Men express their profound gratitude to the following:

The organization would also like to congratulate the project chair, Dr. Niño Jessie Villanueva and co-chair Reynante Oñas, for a successful event.

Indeed, service to humanity is the best work of life.
