Here are some non-profits working with cancer-afflicted that look for volunteers
The Cancer Institute Chennai requires volunteers for handling a range of services, which include general assistance to patients and caregivers at its various counters, follow-ups on those not reporting to hospital by writing a letter or making a telephonic call to them.
“The institute has benefited greatly from the roles played by many volunteers,” says Dr Surendran Veeraiah, professor and head of Psycho Oncology. Five years ago, he says, the Institute had brought out a detailed booklet that gave information on where people can volunteer and the time commitment expected of each role.
