Can-Sir a NPO

The first two weeks of April are generally known to the cancer fraternity as Testicular cancer weeks, however this year, because of the Easter Weekend and Public Holidays, Can-Sir started their 14days/20 High Schools campaign a bit later in order to accommodate the holidays.

Responses to Can-Sir’s call to visit various schools within the Cape area started off slowly but I guess one could attribute that to the holidays. However, as soon as schools re-opened, the phone lines went off the hook with numerous schools showing an interest to the call of Testicular Cancer awareness amongst teens and especially high school students.

Schools around the Cape Metropol,CapeFlats, Northern Suburbs and even West Coast were visited by Can-Sir volunteers and its executive, who took special leave for this occasion. Loads of fun was had by all, teachers, students, volunteers and even at some schools, the parents who were invited.

What is the saying?….. “Children ask the damndest things” Well they were asking all sorts of very uncomfortable questions to some parents who at times chirped in to discipline there children, it was hysterical… (laugh). The campaign centered on Testicular Cancer but believe me, there were more girls than boys at all of the events held and more girls than boys posing the questions. I guess in 90% of the cases, the girls were actually being nudged by the guys… “It was really funny”….

But hey!! Look at the stats we are supplying, for the first year, I don’t think it gets better than that. Next year Can-Sir and its partners will make it bigger and better!!! That’s a promise….
