On October 2, 2024, the “Care Foundation” is organizing a special Garba event for cancer patients in Rajkot, Gujarat, on the eve of Navratri. Over 3,000 cancer warriors and their families, along with more than 250 cancer specialists, are expected to attend. Additionally, over 700 girls will participate in the Garba dance, and each will receive gift vouchers for cancer prevention vaccines (HPV) and mammography tests from the Greev Foundation.
Devi Kavach Recital
According to media reports, 108 girls will perform the Devi Kavach recital to instill new strength and energy in cancer patients. These girls are receiving training for this purpose, continuing a tradition where girls performing Garba historically recited the Devi Kavach.
A Play to Raise Awareness
The event will also provide accommodation and meals for attendees, with a nominal token fee of ₹200. A play will be staged to raise awareness about cancer. The UV Club’s Bipinbhai Bera and his team have generously offered the venue and other arrangements free of charge.
What’s the Objective?
Previously, a fashion show for cancer patients was held in Rajkot, which has been recorded in the “India Book of Records.” This Garba event is part of the “Cancer Care Foundation’s” initiative to raise awareness about cancer and uplift the spirits of patients.
