Women in Action journey alongside cancer sufferers

Women in Action (WiA), a group of pastors's wives from the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), have embraced the 2012 theme of World Cancer Day, affirming the slogan: "Together it is possible".

Throughout the year trained volunteers and counselors are involved in numerous outreach initiatives which provide education and emotional support for people diagnosed with cancer. On Saturday 4 February, teams of pastors and their wives will be available at a mass water baptism at the Ellis Park swimming pool in Johannesburg, encouraging those committed to starting a new life spiritually, to take responsibility for their lives and their health. Cancer knows no boundaries but through united efforts promoting the prevention and control of this disease, premature deaths from cancer could be reduced by 25% by 2025 according to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) which is committed to global cancer control.
Event starts 10am. All welcome.
