World Child Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:
“When children begin treatment, they don’t just face physical challenges – they face absences from school, separation from friends, and the loss of routines that make childhood feel safe.
Through initiatives like ‘Happy Class’ lessons, dental care workshops, and community awareness days, families, teachers, and healthcare teams are helping children with cancer stay connected – to learning and to each other. These small moments of normal life have a big impact on mental health, giving children structure, belonging, and a sense of control during a difficult journey.
With support from World Child Cancer and Amgen (Sean Lybrand, Philip Anderson, Ponda Motsepe-Ditshego, MD), and in partnership with Mbingo Baptist Hospital, Chantal Biya Foundation Mother and Child Centre, Mori’sChild, and Action Against Childhood Cancer Cameroon (AACC), these activities are strengthening holistic care, combining early diagnosis and expert treatment with psychosocial and educational support that helps children recover in every sense of the word.
Swipe through the pictures to see what’s been happening in Cameroon, the classrooms, families, and healthcare teams making this change real.
This is what progress looks like: communities coming together to make sure every child has the chance to keep learning, healing, and being a child – even through cancer.”
