Cacique Accounting College, in collaboration with the Cancer Institute of Guyana, held its cancer awareness fair themed “Pink Out Saturday” over the weekend. The students and staff of Cacique Accounting College benefited from cancer sensitisation. Demonstrations were done to teach students how to perform self-breast examinations. The students were also educated on making healthy lifestyle

changes, and free pap smear examinations were performed by members of the Cancer Institute of Guyana, Fiona Legall and her team.
Legall noted that she was quite impressed with the turnout and she was also happy to be given the chance to make young people more aware of the signs, symptoms and risk factors associated with breast and cervical cancer.
Cacique Accounting College Director Fazal Bacchus said he recognised the importance of raising awareness on breast cancer and also all other types of cancer and saw it fit to bring that awareness to the students.
In recognition of the work by the Cancer Institute, Cacique Accounting College made a monetary donation to the body and remained committed to a continuous partnership with the Institute in the fight against cancer.
