Hitaishini is going to celebrate International Rose day (22nd September, 2006) by distributing roses (symbol of hope) along with Horlicks and some utility items (medicine box, towel) to nearly 550 cancer patients at three major cancer hospitals in Kolkata. Popular film actor, Shree Tapas Pal has kindly agreed to distribute the gifts to the patients.

We are going to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout October by sending awareness messages, articles in different papers, magazines (English, Bengali, Hindi), flashing awareness slides in different T.V. channels, Cinema Halls, and showing awareness messages in Hoardings at major road-crossings. We are distributing one lakh fifty thousand of our awareness pamphlets with the electric bills of October to our targeted consumers of different towns of West Bengal in association with Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation. We will also start awareness programme in Birbhum District, West Bengal, which is our committed project.

This special awareness programme will be concluded by a Awareness Walk, from Hazra Road crossing to Deshapriya Park, in South Kolkata, involving NCC cadets, all the cancer support groups in and around Kolkata, Rotarians, Inner Wheel Clubs, eminent personalities in different fields. Shree Bikash Ranjan Bhattachariya, Hon’ble Mayor of West Bengal, has kindly given consent to flag off the walk. After completion of walk we will arrange another programme, “Lighting The Candle”, in remembrance of the breast cancer sufferers who are no more with us and offer best wishes to those who are still struggling this battle, for their speedy recovery. Dr. Amal Chakraborty, present Sheriff of Kolkata, will light the first candle. The programme will be followed by a musical session.
