The participants are volunteers who have recently joined the "Yad Lehachlama" ranks. Meetings, Lectures and Activities for the Welfare of Cancer Patients Activities held by "Beit Natan" – an ICA supported Health Resources and Support Center for Female Cancer Patients A convalescence vacation was held at the end of February for religious women coping with cancer, sponsored by Beit Natan, with assistance from the ICA.

Expanding Home Visits to Cancer Patients in the Northern Region Chairperson of the Kiryat Shmone Branch and Upper Galilee, Mrs. Ruth Schwartz, initiated the social work students group which began operating this year, to assist in home visits, answering phone calls, tutoring child cancer patients and helping their families throughout the region. The students will work on a volunteer basis with back up from the Dept. Director Dr. Shira Hentman and led by Northern Region social worker Ariela Litvitz. Collaboration between the ICA and "Yedidut" Organization In April collaboration was forged between the ICA and "Yedidut" Organization, responsible for social involvement of students, volunteers and scholarships, in association with the various foundations and organizations requiring volunteers for community service. The "Yedidut" Organization took in scholarship students under its wing from the Mifal Hapais (Israel Lottery) Foundations and contacted the ICA to enable them to hold volunteer activity within the ICA framework. To date, the ICA has taken in 20 students who work in several tracks. Most of them volunteer at the Radiation Institute at Tel Aviv Medical Center, accompanying and supporting lone patients and families who have a loved one with cancer. The students receive professional and supportive guidance from social worker Dalia Stern, of the ICA Rehabilitation and Welfare Dept. and their volunteer activity is supervised. "Ma'agan" Beer Sheva An ICA volunteer student has been assigned to "Maagan" Beer Sheva which is a Support Centre for cancer patients and their families run in collaboration with the ICA. This student is responsible for giving computer lessons at the Center. National Service Girls for Cancer Patients Young women in National Service work at the Soroka and Barzilai Hospitals in Ashkelon and are financed by the ICA. The girls assist the paramedical staff as well as patients and their families. The presence of the National Service girls helps improve the quality of service provided to cancer patients and their families. Women and Cancer – Special Support Groups for Young Women who have Contracted Cancer Many Israeli women cope with various cancer diseases, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer,
38 Isreal Cancer Association Annual Report 2006 ovarian cancer, and other cancers. Sometimes, the damage may be irreparable, damaging the woman's childbearing capacity or to ovulate, and in certain cases, may lead to total loss of fertility. The ICA is currently opening special support groups in several regions throughout the country, designed specifically for young women coping with cancer. Each group will discuss the emotional and environmental difficulties with which young cancer patients contend, and will serve as a source of support and provide women with guidance and information. Membership is free of charge. The groups are designed for women who are 30-45 years old who have contracted and who are coping with various cancer diseases and have opened in several spots in Israel. In the central region, a group led by ICA social workers, Rachel Ofir and Orit Shapira, has opened and in the northern region, a group led by ICA social worker, Ariela Litvitz and Tatiana Gleiser of the Oncology Institute at the Rebecca Sieff Center in Safed, has opened. Cooking Workshop for Cancer Patients The ICA held a unique cooking workshop for people coping with cancer. The workshop was conceived and led by Eilat Barak, a chef and social worker by profession, and by Limor Ben Haim, a dietician specializing in nutrition for patients. The cooking classes afforded the opportunity to transform engagement in "healthy food" into a colorful, savory and tasty experience. The ICA financed the workshop, including food products that were used; the workshop consisted of three sessions of three hours each which were held in a large kitchen donated for this purpose courtesy of "For Chef". Photo: Ofir Nahum The recipes taught during the workshop combine easy to prepare dishes for daily preparation with festive and more complicated recipes, thereby meeting the needs of those dealing with the disease on a daily basis to contend with the various situations they are up against. 14 cancer patients participated in the workshop from all over Israel, for a token fee. These sessions facilitated activity combining a social encounter, discussion and information and a lot of pleasure from cooking. Coming up: Support Group in the Northern Region for Lymphoma Patients The Haifa branch has relocated to new offices, and a regional support group for lymphoma patients is scheduled to operate there. The group will be led by Northern Region social worker Ariela Litvitz. Support Group for Colorectal Cancer Patients The support group for colorectal patients continues to hold meetings led by Orit Shapira, Arza Ashkenazi and Prof. Shulamit Keitler. Guest lecturers also took part in these meetings, such as: Livia Kislev, ICA Sexuality Consultant.
