Rosemary GreenLibrarian assistant and cataloguing of resource articles

I have been a volunteer and member with the Cancer Natural Therapy Foundation since 1998. I was drawn to the Foundation because of my eagerness to understand more about natural therapies and self-healing. My mother died of cancer when I was just a young child. Since my involvement with the Foundation, I have learnt a great deal about cancer and prevention.

Over the 10 years, I have assisted in many areas of the Foundation and developed many skills. My passion is assisting with our library with the processing and filing of information.

I also have a keen interest in organic gardening and natural foods, herbs and plants for their healing properties, as well as the use of practices such as Reiki and Body Electronics to promote healing and good health. In my many years of involvement, I have made many life long friends and hope to continue my service with the Foundation for many years.
