A huge shout-out to our BCH Ambassadors, the students of Subharti Medical College, Meerut, India, for executing the event flawlessly with passion and dedication!

Thank you, SAACHI, for reaching out to me, with the initiative to represent BCH at the Carnival with our BCH Stall, sincerely appreciate the gestures. On behalf of BCH, I also wanted to convey my heartfelt thanks to our kindhearted sponsors SAACHI, SIDDHANT, and TANYA for donating Rs.3428, Rs.2000, and Rs.4830 respectively towards the total expenses of Rs. 16,428 BCH incurred to execute the event.
A note below from Saachi Gupta on behalf of the team about their execution:
"We distributed paper bags which contained brochures, bookmarks, wrist bands and thank you cards to everyone. In the brochures - we explained to them about the QR codes of breast self-exam cards in 24 languages and early detection screening cards for other cancers. We printed a few breast self-exam cards (English and Hindi) to give people an idea about the cards. We told them about the non-profitable organization and the works of Dr. Lopamudra ma’am. We discussed the importance of early detection and treatment in breast cancer. We explained to them about the colour scheme- pink for breast cancer in women, blue in men and purple for all other cancers. We motivated students to share the breast self-exam cards to their mothers, fathers and other family members. The CEO of the university Dr. Shalya Raj ma’am was very impressed with the students’ initiative. The details about the booth were also shared on a local hindi newspaper. We also put up a white board for people to write to us and the BCH family. We even told them about the hashtags- #togetherwesavelives #breakthebreasttaboo #breakthecancertabboo #knowyourbody. All students who visited the booth wore the BCH wristbands and supported the initiative."
Words fall short to express my happiness...so proud of each of you!
With gratitude,
Dr Lopamudra Das Roy, (Mentor) on behalf of the BCH family!
