Global Indian International School SMART Campus’ Red Cross Youth Chapter recently hosted Project Sunny Side Up at the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) Centre in collaboration with the Breast Cancer Foundation.

The initiative was aimed at spreading joy among breast cancer patients and survivors through emotional support, enhancing their well-being and fostering social connections through different activities.

The event featured a vibrant jamming session facilitated by the GIIS Music Club where the participants engaged in karaoke and bonded with fellow patients, staff and volunteers.

The hour-long session included a variety of songs, from nostalgic tunes to pop hits, and evolved into an impromptu group dance.

Members of the GIIS Dance for Change Club then led a dynamic two-hour programme teaching the simple steps of the traditional Dandiya and popular Bollywood dance forms.

This activity created an euphoric atmosphere and fostered a strong sense of connection between the board of directors and cancer survivors.

The day concluded with a creative workshop hosted by the GIIS Art Club featuring bubble art and finger painting.

Guided by the Art Club’s directors, the participants unleashed their creativity in a serene environment, producing beautiful art works and illustrations.

The engaging and spirited sessions produced joy and high energy.

Through the collaboration, the GIIS students succeeded in reminding the cancer patients that they are not alone and will be supported in exploring new interests and rediscovering their sense of self.
