Millennium Fellowship Project: Breast Cancer Awareness: Early Detection Saves Lives
My project was themed Breast Cancer Awareness: Early Detection Saves Lives. It was a means of reaching out to people, especially women, educating them about breast cancer, its risk factors, preventive measures, myths and facts; and more importantly, at the epicenter of the project, how to do breast self-examination, in order to check out for any suspicious signs.
