other projects This project is very personal to me as I am at risk of getting cancer
in my 40s You may say this is very early to think of but cases have shown that
women in their 20s can get cancer This is why I started spreading the word now

well educated about female oriented cancers I only wish that it have impacted the
Bahraini community as well
The AIESEC amp HSBC Women Cancer Awareness Project is an AIESEC initiative that
took place in partnership with HSBC Bank Believing in empowering young people
and impacting the society HSBC has always supported this project since July
