Here you have an illustration of two groups discussing the challenges of diversity, inclusion and equity in cancer care. Both groups feel passionate about bringing about changes which will benefit their communities.
I wonder which group will be most successful in truly understanding the challenges the community faces.

Standing in solidarity with Ukrainian cancer patients

At this time of extraordinary world events, we as the board of the HungerNdThirst Foundation want to speak out and stand in solidarity with Ukraine.

The military aggression by Russia against Ukraine is unacceptable, not only in the way it violates international agreements on sovereignty and human rights but also by causing unnecessary suffering and loss of life. That is why we would like to express our sympathy to all people affected by this unfolding crisis.

In addition to the tragedy of war, many Ukrainian cancer patients are facing extreme difficulties in accessing their treatments and medicines, and there are many reports that hospitals have been attacked. The European Cancer Community strongly condemns violence against Ukrainian health facilities and urges European countries to organize a relief effort for Ukrainians with cancer. The UN Security Council has previously - and unanimously - passed resolutions emphasizing that attacks on health workers are war crimes. And internationally well-known health magazine The Lancet just published an article about the consequences of the war for Ukrainian cancer patients: https://lnkd.in/dBFkuuMD

The HungerNdThirst Foundation advocates the improvement of the quality of life of people suffering from cancer. One of our core values is inclusion, which is why we are especially worried about the accessibility to cancer medication and treatments for our Ukrainian fellow patients. We were very touched by this personal story ( https://lnkd.in/dcnr5cqZ ) of Ukrainian oncologist Nataliia Verovkina

We therefore ask you to support one of the humanitarian aid initiatives, eg Samenwerkende Hulporganisaties - Giro555 in the Netherlands or this initiative of the American Cancer
Society: https://lnkd.in/dHNnvktB

Cancer does not define who I am, though it's a part of me. Remember that cancer does not define the person who is dealing with or who has dealt with cancer.

Making good choices around your food intake helps your health.
Eating healthy is not about strict limitations or depriving yourself of the foods you love.
There can be many reasons why eating is a challenge when you have a disease such as cancer.

Wereldwijd is september Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, met andere woorden de maand van kinderkanker. Tijdens deze maand wordt er extra aandacht gevraagd voor de ziekte onder de kinderen. Het afgelopen jaar hebben wij als HungerNdThirst het boekje 'Wat doet het met je' gemaakt waarmee we kinderen willen motiveren na te denken over hun eigen ziekteproces en gedachten.

Om ons steentje bij te dragen in deze maand geven wij 10 boeken weg. Stuur een email naar info@hungerndthirst.org met Childhood Cancer Awareness Month als onderwerp. Vergeet niet het adres te melden waar het boek naar toe moet.

De eerste 10 personen ontvangen een exemplaar

Je mag natuurlijk het boek naar iemand anders als cadeau laten sturen.
