BSP staff to don pink in October to support cancer awareness

Bank of South Pacific (BSP) staff in PNG and the Pacific will wear pink in October to create awareness on breast cancer.
“Cancer is something that affects many women,” said BSP first retail manager Rosemary Mawe.
“Some are closer to us than we think.
“We have mothers, aunts, sisters and daughters who are affected.
“Wearing a pink ribbon reminds us to talk about this and educate my daughters, nieces and women in my community.”
