The SCCS Cancer Project


     One out of every three people on Earth will be affected by cancer in their lifetime. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia the statistics are higher since we have the highest rate of cancer in all of South America. Bolivia has the highest rate of cancer in South America, and out of Bolivia, Santa Cruz has the highest rate. In twenty years if we don't do something about cancer prevention and education, the statistics of one in three is going to increase: it is going to double! That means that almost everybody will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime... In Santa Cruz, Bolivia that statistic will be worse. That is why we formed the Santa Cruz Cooperative School Cancer Project: to help prevent this epidemic from occurring.

     This is a video that allows you to have a peek of what the SCCS Cancer Project is all about: who they are, what they do, and why they do it. Even though this club was initiated at the beginning of this school year, it is increasing in members and achieving marvelous things that the members never thought possible. This is a club that is eager to receive new members since the Centro Oncologico del Oriente Boliviano (the oncology hospital), does not get many volunteers as they would like. If you are interested in hopping on board this team of dedicated students, contact Mrs. Gurley at her classroom, and begin the journey to creating a healthier community.
