Introducing Project PINK TARZAN - Creating laughter for a cause

For Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) click here 

Around the globe there are numerous projects to create awareness and raise funds for breast cancer patients – both men and women. Of them, there are some which do it with laughter. We are here to join that gang. NAME Art Space is thrilled to announce the launch of its Project PINK TARZAN today!

Cancer affects the physical body of the patient suffering from this disease. It is no surprise that this disease also affects the spirit of those who act as immediate care-givers to the patients. It is difficult for family and friends to watch a person they love to go through such pain. While the doctors do the best that they can for the patients, there is much need for enjoying a laugh and smiling at funny aspects of life even in the midst of this trial. Laughter is that magic potion that rejuvenates the vitality of the human spirit.

While cancer in all forms is a challenge to the human spirit, to the human body and to the entire body of medicine, breast cancer is a disease that can be arrested at a primary stage, if the person is aware of the possibility of the disease. Awareness of one’s physical body and the changes in it that signal medical attention is not adequate in contemporary Asian countries. NAME Art Space, a non-profit private institution based in Hanoi, Vietnam is organizing project PINK TARZAN as an initiative to change this scenario. Its modus operandi is creating laughter for joy and for awareness.

NAME would like to acknowledge the inspiration that it gathered from Bob Carey’s The Tutu Project amongst others.
