The theme for this year’s World Cancer Day which is being observed today is “We Can, I Can” and it certainly speaks of the importance of collective strength, as well as strength of self, particularly for cancer survivors, or even those who may have lost a loved one due to the disease.

This week’s edition of the Pepperpot Magazine shines some light on the work of the Guyana Cancer Foundation as it seeks to spread awareness of all types of cancer, today and all year round.

Our other stories also touch on other areas of health such as diabetes and leprosy and shine some light on some of the things that we can do in our everyday lives to help prevent these diseases or how to treat them.

Of course, we also bring you lighter stories that are aimed at pure intrigue and entertainment, and we hope you enjoy the ensemble overall!
