College students on centre stage at palliative care meet
27th and 28th of February 2016 saw the annual state palliative care volunteers meet at Koottanad in central Kerala. Needless to say, the huge hall was full and overflowing. The energy and enthusiasm are growing, obviously.
Four college students – Sreena (Thrissur), Anas (Malappuram), Fairoos (Calicut) and Nijo P. S. (Kannur) – took the centre stage in one of early sessions on day 1. They described what they did and what they got out of it.
Saif Mohammad, the moderator, quoted a girl who was challenged by a visitor with a question, “What do you get out of it?” The girl replied, “I found myself.” Saif Mohammad also pointed out the need for the new faces to appear at these meets, rather than the same old faces year after year. He also called upon all senior palliative care leaders to develop a second line of youngsters.
Congratulations to the IAPC officer bearers, Mr M. Ramakrishnan, the President, Mr P. Narayanan, General Secretary, and Mr P. Madhusoodanan, Treasurer, for the excellent organization and for the activities through the year.
