Day Care
The Day Care program gives children, teenagers and adults with cancer and their caregivers a secure and comforting platform with opportunities for self-expression under caring individuals.
The Day Care Centres run a weekly program for children and their parents/caregivers (CDC). Volunteers bring children from the Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital at AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital. They engage in a variety of age appropriate creative and educational activities and emotional support. A breakfast program ensures children get appropriate nutrition to sustain their immunity. Parents connect with one another to seek advice or solicit support from volunteers specially trained to answer their inquiries. All attendees are served nutritious home cooked food.

Another session at the Day Care center focuses on distinct needs of teenagers and young adults (TDC). In addition to lending support for physical and emotional wellbeing, the purpose of the interactions is to help the grow into confident and self-sustaining young adults. The program offers a varied set of activities around healing and relaxation, health and nutrition, education and information and personality and skill development. A wide range of exposure trips helps in opening up their perspectives.
The centers also run a weekly session for adult patients (ADC) and their caregivers who are mostly from out of town and are temporarily residing in nearby dharamshala (government dormitories) during the course of their treatment. There is an acute feeling of isolation since they are away from home, in an alien city, fighting a disease that brings both fear and daily woes. A safe and caring environment and healing therapies offered by our volunteers lift their spirits, giving everyone a well-earned respite from the stress and strain of enduring an illness far away from home. Festivals are celebrated together, songs and stories are shared and a nutritious home-cooked meal ends the meaningful interaction.
