Yesterday, on World Cancer Day, The American College of Greece \u2013 Pierce College students wore scarves and used their creativity to spread their message against cancer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the motto \u201cI am more than a scarf\u201d Gymnasium and Lyceum\nstudents break the stigma surrounding cancer, spread the message that cancer\ndoes not define people who suffer from it and show that the scarf that many patients\nwear is a symbol of strength, not weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In view of the \u201cI am more than a scarf\u201d event, students of the\nLyceum Service Learning Club and the Gymnasium Volunteer Club, under the\nguidance of their professors Daphne Vlachantoni and Charis Loizou, designed 400\nscarves using paint, markers and creativity. White, black and light blue textiles\nturned into colorful scarves filled with messages of hope and unique designs by\nthe students of the Service Learning and Volunteer Clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was one\u2026 to raise awareness among the students for\ncancer, an issue important to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The options were three\u2026 1) buy, 2) make your own or 3) bring your own\u2026 as long as on February 4th<\/sup> everyone wears a scarf! And that\u2019s exactly what happened! Tied in the shape of a bandana and worn on the forehead, tied in the shape of a bow around ponytails, wrapped around the head, the scarves were worn in any possible way by young boys and girls! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more hopeful than students collaborating on designing scarves and showing that cancer does not define those suffering from it!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We wish to thank Pierce College for its willingness to take on and host this activity! Special thanks go to Mrs. Vlachantoni who, equipped with enthusiasm and endless creativity, filled the school with scarves and the hearts of the students with love, care and empathy towards cancer patients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful to Plaisio for kindly donating the markers\nand paint, and P&G for its decision to cover the cost of the scarves that served\nas canvases for students to express their message for World Cancer Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*All proceedings from the sale of the scarves will go towards our hospital-based programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
