The Peninsula
Doha: Al Darwish Jewellery, in cooperation with Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) and Kiswah Jewelers, launched the ‘Ya Shafi’ initiative to raise awareness of breast cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women in Qatar and worldwide, as part of ‘Blossom’ campaign.
The Ya Shafi initiative included Al Darwish Jewellery donating the proceeds from over 400 gold and silver bracelets for the treatment of cancer patients, which were designed specifically for this initiative, and they have the phrase ‘Ya Shafi’.
In this regard, an awareness event was organised at the charity’s headquarters, taking into account the preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19. The session included an awareness workshop about breast cancer, presenting the story of one of the women living with breast cancer within ‘I am a survivor, and I will inspire you with my story’ programme.
