Self Initiated CAS Project is DONE!
Above is the email sent to Ms Backlund- a request for the booklet to be put onto the IST website for new students and teachers. Since I cannot upload the whole PDF file on here, I shall upload some snapshots of the diversity booklet and send the whole document to CAS supervisor, Ms Gillman.
LAST TUMAINI LA MAISHA VISIT!
Unfortunately, today was the last time Sumnima and I will be visiting the Tumaini La Maisha house at Muhimbili Hospital. It has been a crazy 2 years- from being just one of the members of the group to actually organising all the activities we do once we get to the house with all the kids. It is the beginning of the second semester and we are actually facing a small challenge because we do not have many people signed up for the Cancer Initiative group. Today we went to the school with only 7 people- Sumnima, Sophia, Mrs Kumar, Ms Lilian myself and 2 other members from 9th grade. Believe it or not we achieved much more today than we have in a long time. The activities and games with the children were more personal because there was a small number of us. We had more intimate connections with the children and just overall a really good time- something we haven’t really had at this intensity in a while. On the ride back to school from the bus, Sumnima and I discussed this with Sophia (the upcoming leader) and we told her that having less people sign up for the activity will not be that much of a problem because today’s session proved that smaller groups work better! I honestly enjoyed my last visit to the house and I’l definitely be stopping by once in a while when I am not busy with studying.

BBB- Blessing Bags for the Burnt Collabo With Zahra Fazal
We met Zahra Fazal at the beginning of this year and we have always been really keen with working with her. She works with Muhumbili and the Tumaini La Maisha House at the Muhimbili Hospital for children with cancer.
Zahra started a initiated activity for CAS which involves delivering bags to burnt victims. These bags contain pain relief medication, bandages, stationaries and some sweets. Zahra felt these were necessary after seeing burnt victims going through loads of pain at the hospital. These victims often do not receive pain relief medicine from the hospital and so putting these in the bags wood help them a lot. Cancer Institute was originally planning on helping her raise the money for the bags, however, Zahra’s contract with Muhimbili expired very soon so we decided to donate 100,000 shillings to Zahra and help her buy some of her Blessing Bags for the Burnt. We will also be helping Zahra assemble these bags in an upcoming Tuesday CAS session.
