As ‘n niewinsgewende organisasie maak KANSA baie staat op opgeleide vrywilligers in plaaslike gemeenskappe om ons te help in ons stryd teen kanker. Ons stel ons vrywilligers hoog op prys. Baie van hulle is self kankeroorwinnaars wie se lewens self deur kanker geraak is. Ons vrywilligers help KANSA personeel landwyd om mense in plaaslike gemeenskappe op te lei en in te lig oor sake rakende kanker. Hulle help ook om na tekens en simptome van kanker te let, maak mense bewus van die belangrikheid van gereelde kanker siftingstoetse en help mense om ‘n gebalanseerde leefstyl te handhaaf om sodoende hul risiko vir kanker te verminder. Ons vrywilligers verskaf ook sorg en ondersteuning aan kankerpasiënte en hul geliefdes, help met administratiewe take en fondsinsameling. Sonder ons vrywilligers sal ons eenvoudig net nie genoeg hande hê om ons dienste te kan lewer aan hulle wie se lewens deur kanker geraak word nie. KANSA se vrywilligers is inderdaad merkwaardige en toegewyde persone.

#InternationalVolunteersDay – as a non-profit organisation, CANSA relies heavily on its trained volunteers to help fight against cancer, in their local communities. We truly value our volunteers, many of whom have personally been affected by cancer, and assist staff throughout the country to educate local communities about awareness of the signs of cancer, the importance of regular cancer screening and living a balanced lifestyle to lower cancer risk. Our volunteers also provide care and support to cancer patients and loved ones, or assist with administrative or fundraising tasks. We simply would not have enough hands to deliver our service to those affected by cancer without our remarkable, dedicated volunteers.
