Week long workshop on childhood cancer well attended Rural ExploXion, a local Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) together with Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC) from Johannesburg wishes to express words of gratitude to everyone who made their recent Childhood Cancer Workshop a success. CHOC and Rural ExploXion hosted a week long Childhood Cancer Workshop from 19-23 September 2016. The workshop was attended by Dieticians, Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Auxiliary Nurses and Home Based Care Workers to name but few. Some of the places where the workshop was conducted are Moroke, Penge, Ga-Manoke and Driekop. The number of participants who were trained are approximately 250 even though initially only between 100 and 150 participants were expected. Special thanks to the Tubatse hospitals’ Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Clinic Managers, Health Officials and Home Based Care Workers Coordinators who cooperated with us in staging a successful workshop. Certificates of all participants may become available within a month. Two
thirds of children with cancer never reach a specialist centre for treatment in South Africa and Rural ExploXion wanted to create this opportunity to bridge the gap between the Department of Health and specialised organisations such as CHOC. “We are optimistic that progressive initiatives shall come out of that workshop” said Pabalelo Mabilo. Now Rural ExploXion is look at 2017 and plans the following: 1.Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM), Conference 2.Department Of Education (Both Basic and Tertiary), Seminar 3.Department Of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises and / or Department Of Trade and Industry, Workshop 4.Inaugural Tubatse Grade 12s Gala Dinner. “Corporate bodies, businesses and similar organisations except political parties may join us by supporting any of the initiatives for next year either financially or otherwise. As Rural ExploXion our vision remains to make Tubatse competitive and responsive to its socio economic issues by year 2021” Mabilo added.
