Ministers of the FBiH House of Representatives supported the initiative of the “Srce za djecu koja boluje od raka FBiH” (Chidlren who are afflicted with cancer), which would mark this year’s International Day of Children Suffering from Cancer on 15 February under the slogan “Cancer is Curable for Children”.
The Ministers will express their support by wearing the ‘zlatna vrpce” (red tapes) on their clothing. The Association called on the public to do this as well as part of a symbolic gesture to demonstrate their humanity, goodness, awareness and understanding towards children who are afflicted with cancer.
The International Society of Pediatric Oncology, the International Organization of Parents with Children Suffering from Cancer and their members are promoting the International Day of Children Suffering from Cancer will wear the “zlatna vrpca” on 15 February as a symbol of the fight against cancer.
