[www.keralites.net] Canshala ( School for Children with Cancer ) Mumbai

 

Canshala ( School for Children with Cancer ) and is an island of peace and learning for a group of ailing children for whom education had, at one stage, become a distant dream due to their treatment for life-threatening cancer.

This formal education helps them make up the time lost due to staying away from school or dropping out for treatment.



This special school has come about thanks to a public-private partnership between the BMC and CanKids, which also has a family support group for children with cancer.

Four rooms in the Jagannath Bhatankar Municipal School have been provided by the civic agency for the special school. Two of these serve as classrooms for the brave hearts, one as a therapy room and another as an office.

"The school bridges the gap in education these children have so far been facing during treatment," Canshala mentor Surabhi Kakar told IANS.
