Women's Symposium

The Women's Symposium was an event my study abroad group put on to provide education about breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. For each type of cancer, members of my class would pass around flyers and explain risk factors and symptoms, as well as ways to reduce the chance of having that type of cancer. After the presentation, we visited with the audience members and took everyone's blood glucose and blood pressure to write it down for them to be able to take to their doctor. We also answered questions about nutrition using Grenadian food options and exercise people could participate in at home to stay healthy. Afterwards, the group we presented to made us porridge and it was delicious gift we all enjoyed (pictured above).
