Children with cancer face difficult and demanding situations, such as being isolated from peers and friends for long periods of time. Most often, the path taken in the fight against the disease is marked by immense pain and stress. The symbol of the International Day of the Child with Cancer is The golden yellow ribbon is the symbol of the International Day of the Child with Cancer and aims to draw attention to the fact that every child with cancer has the right to the best possible medical and psychosocial care, regardless of country of origin, race, financial situation or social class. At the same time, the yellow-gold ribbon reminds that many of the deaths of children with cancer can be avoided by accurate diagnosis, in a timely manner, by the access of these children to adequate treatment and care, to good quality essential medicines. Thus, today the International Lions Club Iasi 2000, through its members and with the help of sponsors who contributed materially, brought a touch of happiness through the gifts and sweets they offered to children with cancer, from the Hospital of St. Maria from Iasi.
