IN commemoration of ‘Pinktober’ Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2019, a local non-governmental organisation, Youths on the Rise Guyana, in collaboration with a local dance group, Jewan Ko Nritya, will host a cancer awareness walk and seminar as a part of the Breast Cancer Awareness calendar.

The event is scheduled to be held on October 19, 2019, under the theme ‘Supporting the fighter, admiring the survivor, honouring the taken’. The participants will assemble at the Leonora Primary School Bridge and then walk to the XS Bar and Lounge at Lot 1 Corneila Ida West Coast Demerara, where the seminar will be held.

The organisation was established in 2018 by some outstanding youths who wanted to make a difference in the lives of others.
The organisation is primarily focused on youth development and humanitarian work with families & youths from communities throughout the country, offering free health care, counseling, tutoring, and mentoring.

It is aimed at involving youths in community and developmental work as well as creating sustainable projects and opportunities for less fortunate individuals.

The self-funded organisation has held several outreach programmes and seminars to improve the lives of the youths in their communities. Recently, the organisation held a suicide awareness event to commemorate world suicide day 2019.
