“The project is about colorectal cancer by providing awareness, and then screenings and treatments and this project is funded by Empowered. I am doing this part-time as I wait to go and fly to the UK to complete the remainder of my degree in Medicine. Why am I doing this? Well at the end of the day, it feels good to know that they appreciate what you are doing for them. I’ve formed an attachment with them, especially those I’ve been with since the beginning. They are like my parents now, and it amazes me on how they can cope with all the news calmly. When they go for surgery, it feels like my parents are going for one. And I really pray that all will go well for them.”
