Last month's step show sponsored by
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., raised
enough money to help the sorority'sbig sister
program at Carver Academy.
The program, designed to mold fourth
through sixth grade girls into mature young
African Americans, consists of weekly
workshops, cultural and educational events
and tutoring for the girls, who must keep up
their grades and attitudes to participate on the
weekend trips.
About 14 girls benefited from the
$ 1,800 raised on their behalf.
"We were able to buy them notebooks,
pens, journals and we're having T-shirts made
for their field trip," said Delta Sigma Theta •
mentor Shane Davis. "We even got them
math books and more games. We've taken
them to the Metropolitan Museum and we're
trying to expose them to different cultural
events."
Two years ago the program was started
by former CSUF student ant sorority member
Daphne Allen who said she was working as a
social intern at Carver when she saw the
children's needs.
"Myself and Shawna Edmund thought
of a program that would be efficient for what
these kids needed," said Allen.
Allen had stressed the importance of
physical and mental health and the major
roles they play in the program. • "**
"Before fun, the workshops come
first," said Allen, who based the program's
principles on self-esteem, awareness, conflict/
resolution, education and relationships.
Health Recipe
Breast Cancer: What do we know about breast cancer? What can we do to prevent it or be
aware of it? Breast cancer can cause death if it is not taken care of, and it can be found in men too.
There are signs and symptoms of breast cancer: a lump in the breast, change in breast shape,
discharge from the nipple, and painful when touching. Being aware of these signs and symptoms can
help in early detection of breast cancer. There are other preventative measures.
One is self-examination of the breast a week after menstruation (men can exam the breast on
the same date of each month). There are three types of examination: lying down, standing before a
mirror, and in the shower. If these examinations are done on a routine basis this will help in early
detection of breast cancer The second is a physical examination which should be done every year.
The third is a mammogram which should beHaken every 2-3 years over the age of 40, and every 3-5
years between the age of 20-39. With all these measures you will have a even better chance of being
aware of your breast and the changes in them.
We must become aware of our health and the changes that our body goe&Jhrough with the
aging process. Remember our health motto:
V ) - Knowledge + Action = POWER
yby NormVQoodwin M.D. So let's take action over our body by taking care of it.
