The Piggy Bank campaign consumed us all this September!! Distributing 1,600 across Dar was no mean feat but we did it!! We got a change to collaborate with several schools, businesses, as well as individuals who willingly took piggy banks to contribute to the children. We were delighted to be invited to speak about childhood cancer at many schools and even get Big Piggy’s into supermarkets and hotels to fundraise.
This month we also welcomed the wonderful Karina our Brazilian Clown doctor who brought joy, vibrancy and fresh energy to all during her stay - we miss you Karina!
On September 28th we loaded up into our Tumaini Bus and headed to our friends at Kidz Kollege for a Childhood Cancer Awareness Event we will never forget! Farm animals, a swimathon, pop - up shops and more. This event was a huge success for fundraising, awareness and fun! Thank you to the Giving Hope Foundation for organising this wonderful event.
September was also the start of our 10 week paediatric nurse training course which has been a huge success and makes sustainable change for our nurses practicing every day at the ward.
