Breaking the Silence on Cancer

Cancer a word that often stirs fear and helplessness. But at Akal Academy, Kajri Niranjanpur, fear gave way to awareness, and awareness gave way to action. On February 5, 2016, Abhai House led the charge in organizing a powerful Cancer Awareness Programme that enlightened young minds and inspired the school community to take a stand.

Hosted in the School Library Hall, the session began with Abhai House Master, Mr. Vattanpreet Singh, welcoming teachers and students. His opening remarks emphasized the pressing need for education about cancer, its causes, and how proactive knowledge can save lives. Cancer does not always have to be a death sentence. When we educate ourselves, we empower others too.
