Christmas Carnival Brings Joy to Young Cancer Patients
A Christmas carnival was organized for young cancer patients and their families at a residential facility near Tata Medical Center in New Town.
The event, organized by the Rotary Club of Calcutta Visionaries, included games, dance, and gifts to bring joy and motivation to the patients.
Many of the children have been undergoing treatment for months and cannot go out due to the risk of infection.
The carnival provided a temporary break from their treatment routines.
A cancer survivor and chairperson of the Rotary Club's cancer committee shared her experience to inspire the patients.
The event aimed to provide both emotional and financial support to the patients and their families.
A Christmas carnival was organized for 60 children and 100 adults undergoing cancer treatment at Premashraya in New Town.
The event included games, dance, a photo booth, and a candy corner, with Santa Claus handing out gifts.
Patients cannot go out due to the risk of infection, so the facility organizes events to keep them engaged.
Many parents, including daily wagers and farmers, prioritize their children's health over livelihoods.
Vidhi Chandak, a cancer survivor and chairperson of the Rotary Club's cancer committee, shared her experience to motivate the patients.
