15. Everydayweknow: Spread the Word - collaboration with World Cancer Organisation
(1354)
Everydayweknow is a non-profit organisation founded by students from 8 different schools
across Thailand. In the “Spread the Word'' project, we collaborated with World Cancer
Organisation to design informative leaflets about cancer. This project was inspired by the
fact that cancer is the leading cause of death in many countries although one-third of cancer
cases could be prevented by taking precautions and early diagnosis can also increase the
effectiveness of treatments. Therefore, we have included information about the suggested
precautions, signs and symptoms of cancer in our leaflet. Initially, we spread our digital copy
of our leaflets through various social media platforms. We found out later that our target
audience, the older population, was not reached. We came up with a solution to reach out
to Camphub to be featured on their websites and consequently gathered over 40 volunteers
from 14 provinces across Thailand to help us distribute the leaflets to people in their
community. Furthermore, we also got many positive feedbacks from our volunteers such as
“This event was wonderful, my family and I find the information in the leaflet very useful”. I felt
very fulfilled to be able to make an impact on the community by combining what I am good
at, graphic design, with the knowledge about cancer that I gained through researching.
