Millennium Fellowship Project: Zero Cancer With Soursop Fruit Consumption
We worked on an awareness project on the soursop consumption coast to prevent types of cancers in our communities. This awareness was brought to students from two different schools. During the project process, we shared with these students information on the types of cancers and their ravages in our communities and also one of the local and less expensive solutions to adopt to avoid it. This solution is the consumption of soursop. the consumption of soursop should be part of everyone's eating habits for the prevention of types of cancer thanks to its many virtues. We also recommended the sustainable production of this fruit since it is endangered and it must be produced to save the next generations.
