Aditi Nichani Student Reporter Cancer- it’s a word everybody dreads hearing, for one simple reason- the poor cancer survival rate. This disease leaves its patients living on borrowed time, that, most of the times, hits the last minute faster than what that last minute should have been. Now, how about cancer in children? Sweet, innocent children that have yet to grow up and see the beauty of the world but now cannot because of a disease that, in some cases, does not have a cure? It is excruciatingly painful. In conversation with Manasa Mahadevan, a 10th grader in Chennai and a volunteer at Can-stop, she narrates to us what she does with these young souls, and how you can do it too! Here we go: "I volunteer with Can-Stop, an organisation that believes in cancer support therapy to overcome pain whose basic goal is to help people learn more about dealing with Cancer and related problems."

Can-stop is a centre for counselling (information, advice, consolation, listening) for cancer-affected patients, their families, and friends. It is an organisation where its volunteers can go and visit patients suffering from cancer (mostly children) during weekends, to play with them and let them know that you’re there for them.

"Can- Stop organises rallies against smoking, drinking and other things that are high in the cancer- causing list. They also conduct drawing and painting competitions for the children with cancer, to take their mind of the pain and just to have a little bit of fun!" She also adds, smiling, "The children are

really sweet and simply love to play with other people, especially kids! The Can- Stop people also have really big hearts and are always on the lookout for volunteers to help them with their truly touching cause! In reply as to how other people can join, she says: It’s really very easy; all you have to do

is call at 044 – 26284256 and ask for Mrs. Dhanalakshmi, tell her why you want to volunteer and once that’s done, you can visit the kids during the weekends at the Government Hospital, Egmore- Pantheon Road, Egmore, Chennai- 600008.” You too can volunteer, for it makes children fighting against a terrible disease really happy; really happy to see that you’re there, helping them through what probably will be the hardest time of their lives. Moreover, cancer is not a disease that spreads through proximity or touch, so you will be 100% safe while you’re making another smile!

Walk the battle with a cam Photowalk on April 27, 2014. From 6.30 a.m. Here is some history along Adyar and a chance to photograph the landmarks. The Battle of Adyar (also the Battle of Adyar River) took place on 29 October 1746. The battle involved 300 men of the French East India Company, which had recently captured nearby Madras from the British, and a much larger force of 10,000 men belonging to Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan, the Nawab of the Carnatic, who sought to take Madras from the French. In the battle, which took place near the banks of the Adyar River, the French decisively defeated the larger Carnatic force, demonstrating the effectiveness of well-trained European forces in combating poorly trained Indian troops. This happened at the Quibble Island. This month's Chennai Photowalk is along the Creek, the Tholkappiar Poonga (Estuary), Greenways Road, Broadie's Castle, Andhra Mahila Sabha and ends closer to the Vasant Vihar. The start point is in front of the Quibble Island Cemetry on Greenways Road. Children who can walk the distance can participate with a parent.
