"A tiny way to fight the big C"

Ranga Kumar joined the Adyar Cancer Institute as a volunteer some 20 years ago.

To start with, the volunteers assisted the poor and illiterate patients at the outpatients ward with paperwork. Then they felt there was a crying need to interact with them at a more emotional level. With permission from Dr Shantha, the institute's director, Ranga and another volunteer, Girija, started actively counseling cancer patients. Sanctuary itself came into existence 15 years ago.

Sanctuary volunteers thus give the patients a sense of belonging and a feeling that there is someone out there to talk to them and share their problems, and to reassure and provide them with emotional help. As counselors, they do more of listening, and encourage the patients to open up and talk. The group has also formulated its own training programs, and one of the rules is, 'If you are stressed, you should call your co-volunteer, ventilate, and go home'.
