Host your own
Hosting a KBCM allows corporate organizations, staff members, schools, religious institutions and individuals to get together in a social atmosphere to demystify cancer. Faraja facilitates a one hour awareness talk on the risk factors and early signs, with the help of a certified doctor/oncologist. After an open Q&A session, a survivor shares their testimony on life during and after cancer. Attendees then enjoy tasty pastries and a cup of tea/coffee.
